ABSTRACT
A smart grid [1–5] is expected to achieve a more efficient, reliable, secure, and resilient system operation and provide better service to customers than traditional power grids, by leveraging advanced cyber computer and communication technologies [6]. On the transmission and distribution side, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems collect real-time information that provides wide-area situational awareness of power grid status. On the user side, more precise real-time estimates of anticipated usage through advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) enable demand response controls that could increase the efficiency of energy use.
