Kotsiuba I. Information technology for decision support to ensure the Smart Grid cybersecurity

The dissertation is devoted to solving the actual scientific and applied problem of developing models and methods of information technology supporting the functional requirements for the protection of distributed smart grid infrastructures. The method of quantitative estimation of the safety of distributed intelligent energy networks. The method of four-stage remote protection in complex networks with improved configuration is improved. Using the paradigm of cyber-physical design we developed the model of smart grid protection that enable to take into account the influence of defects and vulnerabilities of various architectural components. Further development of information technology for the processing and analysis of data from geographically distributed energy networks has been developed to ensure the safe operation of the energy infrastructure. System architecture, software tools and elements of information technology for protection of smart grid infrastructure components was proposed.
