Analyzing attack resilience of an advanced meter infrastructure reference model

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key component of the concept of smart power grids. Although several functional/logical reference models of AMI exist, they are not suited for automated analysis of properties such as cyber security. This paper briefly presents a reference model of AMI that follows a tested and even commercially adopted formalism allowing automated analysis of cyber security. Finally, this paper presents an example cyber security analysis, and discusses its results.
