Analyzing Locally Coordinated Cyber-Physical Attacks for Undetectable Line Outages

This paper offers the pertinent studies on the locally coordinated cyber-physical attacks that would use the incomplete network information and could cause undetectable transmission line outages. First, power line reactances in the targeted local areas are estimated and the remaining power system is modeled equivalently. Next, a mathematical model in the mixed-integer linear programming form is presented for analyzing the attacks, which would...
