#### Intelligent data attacks against power systems using incomplete network information: a review

With the integration of information technologies, power system operations are increasingly threatened by cyber-attacks. It has even been revealed that an attacker can inject false data into real-time measurements stealthily without knowing the full configuration (e.g., network topology) of a power system. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review on false data injection...

It has recently been shown that state estimation (SE), which is the most important real-time function in modern energy management systems (EMSs), is vulnerable to false data injection attacks, due to the undetectability of those attacks using standard bad data detection techniques, which are typically based on normalized measurement residuals. Therefore, it is of the utmost...

For many years, coal-fired power plant generation comprised the largest share of electricity in the U.S. power sector. While natural gas plants now constitute a greater portion of the total, coal is projected to remain a shrinking but significant component of U.S. electricity production. Natural gas-fired technologies are dispatchable and versatile generation sources, but the...
