Abstract

The present smart grid is a digital grid which is an integration of power system and information and communication
system. The combination of the physical and cyber communication is a pioneer to the present era of digitalized
electric grid. This enables new competencies but exposes new challenges. The information and communication
system draw the baggage of cyber vulnerabilities along with and have a potential to jeopardize the whole system.
The understanding of physical power system alone is not sufficient to analyze the live threats associated with cyber
physical power system. Hence, the paper tries to give an insight regarding the advancement and progress done in the
area of cyber security in power system. Paper also tried to give an understanding regarding digital system and its
associated protocol and security measures. To know related to cyber attack in power grid it is important to know the
vulnerabilities of the system.
