Paper Abstract
Demand response is one of key smart grid applications that aims to reduce power generation at peak hours and maintain
a balance between supply and demand. With the support of communication networks, energy consumers can become
active actors in the energy management process by adjusting or rescheduling their electricity usage during peak hours
based on utilities pricing incentives. Nonetheless, the integration of communication networks expose the smart grid to
cyber-attacks. In this paper, we developed a smart grid simulation test-bed and designed evaluation scenarios. By
leveraging the capabilities of Matlab and ns-3 simulation tools, we conducted a simulation study to evaluate the impact
of cyber-attacks on demand response application. Our data shows that cyber-attacks could seriously disrupt smart grid
operations, thus confirming the need of secure and resilient communication networks for supporting smart grid
operations.
