is essential for a system as integral to our lives as the electric grid. e design of the power system

should take into account several specific predicted failure scenarios. Naturally, not every scenario

can be predicted, but there are certainly some attack methods that are more likely or more feasible

than others, and these should be addressed. Finally, one attack should not cause complete system

failure. ere should be measures in place to detect and respond to an attack in a way that allows

no more than just a localized part of the system to be compromised.

ese prevention techniques should be geared toward a probable attack model, as with the

cybersecurity techniques. An attack usually involves an intruder a ...
