This course explores the impacts of Internet of Things (IoT) demand attacks on the secure operation of power transmission grids. It covers the development of a cascading outage analysis tool to model conditions leading to cascading outages in large power grids. The course teaches about IoT demand manipulation attacks, their effects on power systems, and the potential interruptions to the system frequency. The intended audience for this course includes professionals in the fields of cybersecurity, power systems, and IoT technologies.
