Towards a Model for Assessing the Effects of Social-Cyber-Physical Threats on the Future Power Grid - Review and Workshop Results

• The energy system, including the electrical power system, is currently undergoing major changes to meet increased demands and climate target plans, and to stand against potential malicious activities and all sorts of disruptions. Specifically, the electrical power system is drastically changing with regards to consumption, production, transmission, control, monitoring, markets, and digitalization. Such a change, however, makes the power system an attractive and vulnerable target to all kinds of disruptive events and social-cyber-physical attacks since the system is crucial for the functioning of the society and economy. In this work, to act against such events and to study the future power system's susceptibility and resilience towards social-cyber-physical attacks, the Resilient Digital Sustainable Energy Transition (REDISET) project has shown the need for a new model that is able to describe the future electrical power system in a way that reflects the future reality. In this paper, existing power system models, the changing landscape of power systems, the drivers for a new model, the suggested model that comprises 7 building blocks instead of today's 3, and finally a direction of future related work are presented.
