Abstract

Fluctuating energy resources and security flaws in ICT used for power networks threaten the stability of the system. This requires an in-depth analysis of smart grid technologies which are used for balancing out supply and demand. We present a tool set that supports the analysis and evaluation of various smart grid scenarios with respect to their security relevance.
