Introduction of Optimizing Security in Smart Grid

        The efficient utilization and distribution of power need a reliable and sophisticated infrastructure which is constituted of efficient software and hardware. The application of WSNs or wireless sensor network in a traditional electric grid enhanced it to a smart grid. Actually, the implementation of ICT or information and communication technologies has optimized the control and monitoring while increasing the threats of security to the critical technological information of the smart grids. The unauthorized and unofficial access to either the data generated by consumers or smart grids can cause some severe deterioration to an effective application of smart grid. In this thesis, an attempt has been made to the optimization of security in smart grids.
