Demand Side Cybersecurity of Smart Grids

Explore the cybersecurity challenges and solutions for smart grids in this 36-minute lecture by Samrat Acharya, a Ph.D. candidate at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering. Delve into the evolution from conventional power grids to smart grids, examining the paradigm shift and its implications. Investigate two key schemes: EV charging capacity and cyber-physical outlook. Learn about data acquisition processes for charging stations and power grids, and understand the mathematical equations and feedback systems involved. Analyze demand-side management, including demand response mechanisms and microgrid studies. Discuss technical challenges in the field and explore the emerging cyber insurance market, with a focus on the power grid as an insurer. Conclude with a Q&A session and insights into charging stations, gaining a comprehensive understanding of demand-side cybersecurity in smart grid systems.
