Abstract

The modern power infrastructure has evolved from small isolated circuits into an expansive interconnected system that is dependant on multiple supporting infrastructures. One of the most significant and potentially detrimental supporting infrastructures to interact with power systems is telecommunications. Currently, there are no established analytic techniques that enable system operators or planners to analyze the interactions that occur at the seam between these two infrastructures. This paper presents a method for analyzing and assessing events that occur at the interface of the power and telecommunications infrastructures
