Abstract

A smart grid is an updated version of the traditional electrical grid that uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in an automated fashion for the production and distribution of electricity. Several attributes like efficiency, sustainability, and reliability are improved in the smart grid as compared to the traditional grid. Smart grid gives significant benefits for the entire community, but their dependence on computer networks make them vulnerable to various kinds of malicious attacks. This article focuses on identifying the various cyber-security issues of different areas of the smart grid which are prone to vulnerabilities. Finally, the possible solutions for resolving the cyber-security issues in the identified areas for making the smart grid more secure were analyzed.
