Modeling Coupled Nonlinear Multilayered Dynamics: Cyber Attack and Disruption of an Electric Grid

Figure 3

An electric grid consisting of one generator (with rotor angle ) and one load (with rotor angle ), in this case envisioned as a utility company that has consumers, indexed by , with AMI. Our analysis focuses on the consequences of compromise of the AMI rather than attacks on the cyber system of the power generating system.
