\"Cyber-PhysicalThe electric smart grid promises increased capacity, reliability and efficiency through the marriage of cyber technology with the existing electricity network. This integration, however, creates a new host of vulnerabilities stemming from cyber or physical intrusion potentially leading to devastating physical effects. The security of a system is as strong as its weakest link. Thus, the scale and complexity of the smart grid, along with its increased connectivity and automation make the task of cyber-physical protection particularly challenging. This course introduces students to timely topics in cyber-physical security of modern power systems. After an introduction to common communications security practices and the basics of power systems, the unique communication and computational protection needs of the emerging smart grid are characterized. Timely technological solutions based on research papers and technical reports are surveyed in depth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
