Motivation and Objectives
Large power grids are extremely complex systems. Dealing with highly dynamic phenomena in protection and control, algorithms require long-distance, high-volume and highly reliable data communications. However, it is widely agreed that electric grids are getting increasingly stressed each year due to surging demand and inadequate transmission growth. At the same time, the centralized generation model is increasingly being extended by the distributed producer-consumer Smart Grid model that adds even more dema
The goal of this workshop series is to help provide a much better understanding of dependability/security issues involved with the Smart Grids' dependency on ICT and to help stimulate research to improve grid trustworthiness. A targeted goal of the workshop will be to facilitate research matchmaking between the electric power researchers and dependable computing communities. We thus hope to create an interdisciplinary community that will bear fruit in helping make grids more resilient and efficient by bette
