Cyber Vulnerability in Power Systems Operation and Control

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNSC,volume 7130))

Introduction

Modern power systems are composed of several interacting national systems synchronously or asynchronously interconnected over large geographic areas, and in the European case on a continental basis. In each country several areas are put under the control of regional centers, connected and coordinated by a national coordination center. Among the various national centers, coordination procedures are made available on an off-line basis.
