A Survey of Enhancing Cyber Physical System Security in Smart grid

The smart grid, with its integration of advanced technologies, brings unprecedented benefits to modern energy systems. However, the convergence of cyber-physical systems in the smart grid introduces new challenges, particularly in terms of cybersecurity. This review explores the intricate relationship between cybersecurity and physical systems within the smart grid frame-work. We delve into the vulnerabilities arising from the interconnectedness of digital communication networks and physical infrastructure, emphasizing the potential risks to grid reliability, data integrity, and user privacy. This paper surveys existing cybersecurity measures and strategies employed in smart grids, secure communication technologies, various cyberattacks in smart grid and the influence of cyber-attacks on the physical and cyber components of the smart grid. The review extends to the discussion exploration of emerging techniques, to detect the cyber physical attacks as potential findings to fortify the cybersecurity resilience of smart grids. By synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying gaps in current research, this review contributes to the ongoing discourse on safeguarding the smart grid against cyber vulnerabilities and ensuring the robustness of its physical components in an era of evolving risks.
