Abstract

In this paper we study the case of Critical Infrastructures (CIs), and especially power grid systems, which nowadays rely on computers and the Internet for their operation. We propose a combinatorial method for automatic detection and classification of faults and cyber-attacks, when there is limited data from the power grid nodes due to cyber implications. We design an experimental platform consisting of a power grid simulator and a cyber network emulator in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
