Cybersecurity and Resilience of Modern Power Systems

Secure inverter-based grids against cyber-physical attacks with integrated strategies As power systems shift toward low-inertia, inverter-based architectures with distributed energy resources, cyber threats now span communication networks, control layers, and physical infrastructure simultaneously. Cybersecurity and Resilience of Modern Power Systems addresses this convergence directly, presenting secure communication, resilient control, anomaly detection, mitigation strategies, and post-attack recovery tailored to power-electronics-dominated grids and their unique vulnerabilities. Contributed by an international team of researchers, this book covers AI-driven intrusion detection, digital twin monitoring, grid-forming inverter security, and adaptive control schemes for cyber-physical resilience. The book introduces key security concepts within modern power system contexts, requiring no prior cybersecurity expertise from readers. The book also includes: Cyberattack prevention techniques and privacy-preserving protocols designed for networked smart grid communication architectures and distributed energy resource integrationPost-attack recovery frameworks that restore grid stability and reliability following cyber-physical disruptions in low-inertia systemsData-driven situational awareness methods leveraging artificial intelligence for real-time anomaly detection across interconnected grid control layersCyber-physical interdependency analysis showing how attacks on digital layers propagate to cause instability, equipment damage, or widespread outagesAutonomous recovery and adaptive control architectures enabling grid operators to maintain reliable operation under evolving and persistent cyber threatsDesigned for researchers, system operators, and practicing engineers in power systems, power electronics, smart grids, and cybersecurity, this reference provides the integrated technical foundation needed to design, operate, and defend next-generation electric grids. It also serves as a reference text for graduate-level courses and professional training programs.
