Abstract

The modernization of the electrical grid into a smart grid has been widely recognized as a major technological advancement. Communication networks and digital control systems have been integrated to improve efficiency and reliability. However, it has also been observed that such integration introduces new cybersecurity risks. This paper presents a detailed review of cybersecurity in smart grids, including threats, impacts, standards, resilience strategies, and real-world applications. The study highlights the need for strong protection mechanisms and continuous research to ensure secure and reliable grid operations.

This review paper explores the current landscape of cybersecurity within smart grid infrastructures, focusing on the critical balance between system performance and data integrity. We examine three primary pillars of modern defense: advanced threat modeling, robust data protection, and intelligent intrusion detection. Specifically, the paper discusses how secondary substations—often the weakest link in the grid can be protected through sophisticated risk assessment and information-theoretic metrics that quantify measurement vulnerability

Keywords:  Smart Grid, Cybersecurity, SCADA Systems, Data Integrity, Threat Modeling
