Structural Vulnerability Analysis, Reinforcement and Defence for Smart Grid

该项目旨在确定和分析新出现的“智能电网”的结构脆弱性。智能电网将计算机网络集成到现有的电力网络中。虽然智能电网能够整合更多的可再生能源，并有助于建立一个环境可持续的社会，但网络结构可能会带来新的脆弱性，可能导致大规模连锁故障，并导致灾难性停电。该项目旨在建立一个定量框架来分析智能电网的结构脆弱性。此外，还将提出创新的加固和防御战略，以减少大停电的风险，并建立一个更强大的智能电网。

This project intends to identify and analyse the structural vulnerabilities of the emerging ‘smart grid’ for electricity supply. The smart grid integrates a cyber network into the existing power network. Although the smart grid enables the integration of more renewable energy sources and contributes to an environmentally sustainable society, the network structure can introduce new vulnerabilities that may cause large cascading failures and lead to catastrophic blackouts. The project aims to establish a quantitative framework to analyse smart grid structural vulnerability. Furthermore, innovative reinforcement and defence strategies will be proposed that could reduce the risk of large blackout and build a more robust smart grid.
