Smart Grid Security: An End-to-End View of Security in the New Electrical Grid (Hardcover)

The Smart Grid has the potential to revolutionize electricity delivery systems, and the security of its infrastructure is a vital concern not only for cyber-security practitioners, engineers, policy makers, and utility executives, but also for the media and consumers. Smart Grid Security: An End-to-End View of Security in the New Electrical Grid explores the important techniques, challenges, and forces that will shape how we achieve a secure twenty-first century electric grid.

Includes a Foreword by Michael Assante, President and CEO, National Board of Information Security Examiners

Following an overview of the components of the Smart Grid, the book delves into the evolution of security standards and regulations and examines ways in which the Smart Grid might be regulated. The authors discuss the technical details about how metering technology is being implemented and the likely threats and vulnerabilities that utilities will face. They address the home area network (HAN) and examine distribution and transmission—the foundation for the delivery of electricity, along with distributed generation, micro-grids, and operations.

The book explores future concepts—such as energy storage and the use of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs)—in addition to the concomitant risk for fraud and manipulation with stored energy. Consumer-related issues are discussed as they pertain to emerging ways of receiving and generating energy. The book examines dysfunctions ranging from inadvertent outages to cyber-attack and presents recommendations on how to respond to these incidents. It concludes with speculation of future cyber-security challenges and discusses new ways that the grid can be defended, such as better key management and protection.

Written in a style rigorous enough for the practitioner yet accessible to a broad audience, this comprehensive volume covers a topic that is becoming more critical to industry and consumers everywhere.

智慧電網具有改變電力供應系統的潛力，其基礎設施的安全性不僅對於網路安全從業人員、工程師、政策制定者和公用事業高層至關重要，也對媒體和消費者具有重要意義。《智慧電網安全：新電網安全全景》探討了實現二十一世紀安全電網所面臨的重要技術、挑戰和影響力。

本書包含了國家資訊安全考試委員會主席兼首席執行官Michael Assante的前言。

在概述智慧電網組件後，本書深入探討了安全標準和法規的演變，並探討了智慧電網可能受到監管的方式。作者們討論了計量技術的實施方式以及公用事業可能面臨的威脅和漏洞。他們還討論了家庭區域網絡（HAN）並檢視了配電和輸電，這是電力供應的基礎，以及分散式發電、微型電網和運營。

本書探討了未來的概念，例如能源儲存和插電式電動車（PEV）的使用，以及儲能詐騙和操縱風險。還討論了與新型能源接收和發電方式相關的消費者問題。本書還檢視了從意外斷電到網絡攻擊等各種故障，並提出了應對這些事件的建議。最後，本書對未來的網絡安全挑戰進行了推測，並討論了更好的密鑰管理和保護等保護電網的新方法。

本書以專業的風格撰寫，既適合從業人員閱讀，也對廣大讀者具有易讀性。這本全面的著作涵蓋了一個對於工業和消費者來說越來越重要的主題。
