Dr. Gabriel Weaver, Dr. Yardley, and Dr. Emmerich have developed a cyber and physical disruption model for electrical power grid operations that allows stakeholders in the industry to anticipate, prepare, and avoid damages from various different disruptive events. This model has been improved with fundamental changes to the cyber layer of the pipeline, allowing for a more diverse cyber layer that is nourished by data collected from DARPA RADICS exercises for cyberattacks against the electrical power grid. This diverse cyber layer is now able to apply information diffusion processes running on real-world communications networks under baseline and disrupted conditions to explicitly represent communications network topologies and associated information diffusion processes across each layer in the network stack. The result of this technology is a brand-new solution for stakeholders in assessing critical infrastructure risks in the electrical power grid sector.
