Cyberattacks targeting substation control systems can severely impact system stability and potentially trigger cascading failures. Substation control systems, such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, are responsible for monitoring and controlling the operation of substation equipment, including circuit breakers, transformers, and protective relays. A successful cyberattack can compromise the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of these systems, leading to various disruptions. If attackers gain control of circuit breakers, they could maliciously open breakers, causing widespread power outages. They could also prevent breakers from operating correctly during faults, leading to equipment dama....
