Abstract
|
A smart grid is a power grid that utilizes two-way information exchange and
secure telecommunication technology at all levels of power systems, including
production, transmission, distribution, and consumers to achieve a secure, clean,
reliable, efficient, sustainable, and resilient network. The resilience and security of
these networks are always at risk by both natural disasters such as earthquakes,
storms, and tornadoes and intentional factors such as cyberattacks. Cyberattacks are
a type of attack that aims to destroy or manipulate information and data related
to smart grids. Lack of protection against these attacks can lead to disruption of
the performance of various parts of the network. The intrusion of these attacks
can start from different infrastructures according to their communication networks,
and the infrastructures of EVSEs are vulnerable parts that can be the point of
penetration of the attackers. These attacks, which spread contamination through
EVSEs and EVs, can have unforeseen impacts for EVs, as well as more severe
effects such as power outages. Therefore, to maintain the security and efficiency of
the network, these cyberattacks and infrastructure must be properly modeled, and a
protection plan must be provided to deal with them. The security and resiliency
of smart grids are threatened in the presence of electric vehicle infrastructure
which includes EVs, EVSEs, meters, and other roadside infrastructures that use
telecommunication technologies to exchange information, which are vulnerable to
cyberattacks.
