A Linear Game Framework for Defending Power Systems Against Intelligent Physical Attacks

Abstract

Game theory has recently been applied for analyzing the security of power systems under intelligent attack threats. This letter presents a linear game framework for optimal allocation of a defense budget to confront intelligent attacks on power systems. The presented framework offers the advantage that it can be applied in large power systems with a large number of components under attack threat without too much complexity. The presented linear framework is successfully applied on test systems.
