INTRODUCTION
Smart grid forensic science is a newly flourishing research area
Coupled with cyber and physical security of the smart grid
Useful in identification of persons involved in
electricity theft and attacks
The smart grid attacks may initiate from various parts of the power system
3
SMART METERS AND SUBMETERING
Smart meter features include collecting consumption information
Smart meters and AMI can play a significant role in the prevention of electricity theft
Provide fine-grained consumption data compared to analog meters
4
Smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure
5
SCADA NETWORK FORENSIC ANALYSIS
SCADA is the common monitoring and control system
Data from the SCADA system can be use as an evidence
Forensic readiness of SCADA is a developing field
6
SCADA network, corporate LAN, and remote sites
7
WIDE AREA SYSTEM FORENSIC ANALYSIS
Reliability of smart grid depends on wide area measurement
For the wide area transmission, PMU has important role
Target of load-based attacks
PMUs provide valuable forensic information
8
PMUs, PDCs, storage and a super-PDC under utility and ISO domains
9
DISASTER FORENSIC ANALYSIS
The power grid are built to withstand natural disasters
Post-mortem analysis of a disaster it will give the idea about the limitations
Physical security of the communication systems is important
Important to be able to collect information seconds before a failure
10
Power System under Lightning
11
CHALLENGES OF SMART GRID FORENSICS
Privacy and security are the important challenging issues
Forensic methods should not violate the privacy of citizens
Smart grid measurements require a large space over
a long period of time
Difficulty of performing live analysis in SCADA system
12
A summary of applications, challenges
13
OPEN ISSUES
Collected information that can easily become a target of an attack
Data from AMI, the SCADA network, and the PMU network require sophisticated processing
Forensic readiness of SCADA systems is a developing field
14
CONCLUSION
Smart grid forensic science, which is an emerging field that requires experts
Some of the applications, the challenges and open issues are pointed out
The paper aims to serve as a roadmap for future smart grid forensic studies
