Abstract

The evolution of a conventional electric grid infrastructure can be dated back to 1880s when the outstanding sources of energy were based on hydraulics and gas energy. But one cannot only depend upon the classic electric grid system in today’s digital world. However, the smart grid and smart micro grid provide electric power in many efficient and measured ways, which are helpful in the technology-enabled market. Accordingly, in this chapter, we explain structure of the smart grid and discuss various authentication schemes associated with it. We have described different security parameters and varied attacks, which should be considered for successful and secure usage of the smart grid system.
