  • Summary

    Although today’s power grids have their own sensing and control communications infrastructure in dedicated networks operating separate from the publicly used information and communication networks (ICNs), technological advances may lead to more integrated electric power and ICN infrastructures. Some of the motivating technological changes that may act as catalysts for such increased integration of both infrastructures include the need for much higher power supply resilience for ICN sites, development of an “Internet of Things,” and the increased communication needs for electric power devices at users’ homes or at the power distribution level of the grid as part of power systems’ evolution into “smarter” grids. Hence, this chapter explores the implications in terms of resilience of integrated electric power and ICN infrastructures. In particular, the use of integrated power management to facilitate the use of renewable energy sources is discussed. Fundamental concepts about cybersecurity are also presented.
