Cyber-physical security assessment and simulation based on graph database
With the development of information technology, the operation of power grid increasingly depends upon the support of strong communication network. The power system consisting of grids infrastructure and communication equipment is a typical cyber-physical system(CPS). In recent years, power accidents that information-side failure impacts on physical operation happen at times. In order to simulate the impacts of information failure on grid operation, we develop a cyber-physical simulation tool for the secondary-voltage control of power system to implement the reasonable analysis and evaluation of the influence of different types of information failure on voltage control effect. In this paper, the graph database is introduced to construct the basic cyber-physical data model as an important part of the simulation tool, whose graphical modeling and management is friendly for users. In addition, the importance of different types of information is analyzed with the tool. It can be seen that the voltage information is more fragile and critical than the non-independent generator reactive information.
