Can u give a CORAS ASSEST DIAGRAM for the following case study - The Smart Grid, a
pivotal technology underpinning modern energy infrastructure, integrates various
communication networks to enhance its efficiency and responsiveness [1]. Predominantly, it
comprises three primary networks: the Home Area Network (HAN), Neighbor Area Network
(NAN), and Wide Area Network (WAN) [8]. Recent research elucidates the configurations of
these networks, especially the HAN [3]. One proposed architecture involves a smart meter
directly monitoring household appliances to optimize grid management [5]. A notable limitation
of this approach is the requirement for all devices to employ a uniform networking protocol,
potentially leading to compatibility issues [4]. To address these concerns, an alternative
architecture has been proposed [8]. Here, devices interface with the smart meter through a
gateway, which acts as a mediator [6]. This design allows for diverse communication protocols,
enhancing system flexibility. Figure 1 shows a simplified model of the Smart Grid
communication network, factoring in the gateway mechanism [7]. In this representation, each
household mirrors a house in the actual power grid. The model further groups these households
into discrete clusters, analogous to the clustering of residences in the real-world grid. Each
household in this model incorporates five smart appliances: a smart TV, thermostat, robot
vacuum cleaner, light, and an IP camera. The gateway, situated within each household, processes
messages from these appliances, selectively forwarding pertinent data to the smart meter. This
data then travels to the area concentrator. The model features five such concentrators, each
corresponding to distinct areas: A through E. These concentrators relay the information to a
central concentrator. Subsequently, the aggregated data converges at the SCADA system, which,
for the context of this study, remains outside the scope of discussion [13]. For organizational
coherence, every device or node possesses a unique ID, derived from a combination of device
type, area, and household number. For instance, a smart TV in the first house of area A would be
labeled as TVA1. By extension, other devices in the same household would have labels such as
ThermostatA1, CleanerA1, and so forth. The area-specific concentrators are denoted as
ConcentratorA to ConcentratorE, and the central entity is labeled as the Central Concentrator.
The data flowing through the Smart Grid's communication networks offers manifold utilities [4].
Utility companies can leverage this data for demand forecasting, ensuring grid reliability, and
fostering efficient energy distribution [6]. Moreover, the data can inform dynamic pricing
models, facilitate remote grid monitoring, and enhance customer service [9]. Additionally, the
data can guide infrastructure development, bolster security measures, and aid in the integration
of renewable energy sources [7]. Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of
this data is of paramount importance [12]. The confidentiality of data ensures that sensitive
information, such as user consumption patterns or grid operational details, remains inaccessible
to unauthorized entities [9]. Breaches in confidentiality could lead to scenarios where malicious
actors manipulate energy prices or target specific households [10]. For instance, if an attacker
gains knowledge about when a household consumes the least amount of energy, they might infer
the residents are not home, making the house a potential target for burglary [11]. Integrity
ensures that the data remains unaltered during transmission and storage [5]. Any compromise in
integrity can have grave repercussions. For example, if an attacker tampers with consumption
data, they could artificially inflate energy bills or even cause grid imbalances by falsifying
demand data [4]. Lastly, availability ensures that data is accessible when needed [2]. DDoS
attacks targeting grid communication networks could render essential data inaccessible, leading
to grid inefficiencies, blackouts, or even catastrophic system failures [3]. Ensuring uninterrupted
data access is crucial for maintaining grid stability and efficient operations. In summary, the
Smart Grid's data is not only vital for operational efficiency but also for the safety and security of
the entire energy infrastructure. Properly harnessed and secured, this data can propel the Smart
Grid towards optimal performance, environmental sustainability, and robust security [12].
