Abstract: The penetration of distributed generators into the power distribution grid requires real-time control of the grid by monitoring the state of the power distribution grid. Such a large-scale monitoring cannot be performed by using traditional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems due to its lack of the scalability. To address this issue, contemporary Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) are deployed, which provide the dynamic snapshots of the power system. However, WAMS’s more open structure versus SCADA poses a risk of WAMS being vulnerable to cyberattacks. In particular, due to high responsiveness and availability requirements of WAMS applications, attacks i.e., Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) are of primary concern for WAMS.
