ABSTRACT: This paper aims to identify and clarify the cyber
security risks and their interaction with the power system in Smart Grid. The
SCADA system and other communication networks interact with the power system on
a real time basis, so it is important to understand the interaction between two
layers to protect the power system from potential cyber threats. This paper has
shown the risks of the open architecture SCADA in a quantitative method and
proposed effective security measures through case studies.
