Abstract :
The work presents a methodology for the experimental evaluation of cyber failures to power grid control networks. The methodology has been applied to standard communications of the grid telecontrol test bed in the Power Control System - Resilience Testing Laboratory of RSE for producing performance measures about the effects of both accidental and intentionally malicious attacks on the telecontrol traffic.
