Special Session 2: Improving Grid Cyber Physical System Resilience against Cyber Attacks
“提升电力信息物理系统韧性抵抗网络攻击”

Nowadays, as one of the most critical infrastructures, the power system has developed into a cross-regional, multi-voltage level, largescale interconnected and complex artifcial network. With the rapid development of communication, control and computer technology (3C), the interaction between the conventional power system and the information system becomes increasingly complicated and mutually dependent, which accelerates the conventional power system evolving into a grid cyber physical system (GCPS). The widespread application of advanced information and communication technology (ICT) is comparable to the “Sword of Damocles”, which not only improves the observability and controllability of GCPS, but also makes them more vulnerable than ever before.
Cascading failures are widely utilized to describe the random or targeted attacks in a few components/nodes can propagate through the systems and cause failures in most or even the entire GCPS. In recent years, a number of worldwide blackouts reveal that a fraction of nodes in the information system failed can also lead or contribute to the entire GCPS catastrophic failures, and bring unpredictable economic losses.It can be seen that the GCPS faces threats not only from the conventional power system (physical region), but also from the information system (cyber region). Therefore, to avoid similar accidents occurred, how to improving the resilience of GCPS against cascading failure becomes an urgent issue.  

当前,作为最关键的基础设施之一,电力系统已经发展成为一个跨区域、多电压等级、大规模互联的复杂人工网络。随着通信、控制和计算机技术(3C)的快速发展,传统电力系统与信息系统之间的交互变得日益复杂和且互依赖,加速了传统电力系统向电力信息物理系统(GCPS)的演进。先进信息通信技术(ICT)的广泛应用犹如“达摩克利斯之剑”,既提高了GCPS的可观测性和可控性的同时,也使GCPS比以往任何时候都更加脆弱。
级联故障,被广泛用于描述在少数组件/节点遭受随机或有针对性的攻击后,通过系统间传播并导致大部分或甚至整个GCPS发生故障。近年来,世界范围内发生的多次大停电事件表明,信息系统中的一小部分节点故障也可能导致或促成整个GCPS的灾难性故障,并带来不可预测的经济损失。可见,GCPS不仅面临来自电力系统(物理域)的威胁,还面临来自信息系统(信息域)的威胁。因此,为了避免类似事故的发生,如何提高GCPS韧性成为一个迫切需要解决的问题。
