Cybersecurity of Microgrid: State-of-the-Art Review and Possible Directions of Future Research

The infrastructure of and processes involved in a microgrid electrical system require advanced technology to facilitate connection among its various components in order to provide the intelligence and automation that can benefit users. As a consequence, the microgrid has vulnerabilities that can exp...
