The smart grid system, an improvised form of the traditional grid, is considered a critical cyber-physical system. Due to its complex combination of smart and legacy technologies, this technology is characterized by a wide range of features such as full duplex communication, advanced metering infrastructure, remote monitoring, and control. However,...

Smart grid data can be evaluated for anomaly detection in numerous fields, including cyber-security, fault detection, electricity theft, etc. The strange anomalous behaviors may have been caused by various reasons, including peculiar consumption patterns of the consumers, malfunctioning grid infrastructures, outages, external cyber-attacks, or ener...

The smart-grid introduces several new data-gathering, communication, and information-sharing capabilities into the electrical system, as well as additional privacy threats, vulnerabilities, and cyber-attacks. In this study, Modbus is regarded as one of the most prevalent interfaces for control systems in power plants. Modern control interfaces are...

Digital Twins (DTs) are virtual representations of physical objects or processes that can collect information from the real environment to represent, validate, and replicate the physical twin's present and future behavior. The DTs are becoming increasingly prevalent in a variety of fields, including manufacturing, automobiles, medicine, smart citie...
