Abstract
Recent advancement in the integration of power systems and information communication technology has brought the key concerns towards security operation of cyber physical power system. This paper focuses on realizing the unified system modeling under intrusion attacks and refining the attack effects on communication network by simulation research. We start this survey with an overview of the system operation and crucial intrusion attacks associated with operational security from fusion system perspective. A novel limited stochastic Petri net (LSPN) graph theory is introduced to establish the unified firewall protection system model of intelligent substation network. By proposing quantitative computational methodology of communication throughput variation, the potential consequence on the communication network is determined with information transmission constraints. The final test on IEEE-30 node power system illustrates the usefulness of the proposed model analysis. The research work would raise awareness of the cyber intrusion threats and provide the basis for security defense.
