Abstract: In recent years, implementation of smart grid technologies has been a prime focus in many countries. To have an accurate and precise information of vital power system
The congestion and complexity in the network have pushed the grid to enhance for proper monitoring and control by Wide Area Monitoring Protection and Control (WAMPAC), an enabler of the Smart Grid which is a bidirectional network that can heal itself in case of any failure.
The evolution of power generation systems, along with their related increase in complexity, led to the critical necessity of Wide-Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control (WAMPAC) systems in
As such, this article aims to pave the way for prospective researchers to pursue further studies in areas that require in-depth investigation into the security, reliability, and efficiency of WAMPAC
This MPCE Special Issue is focused on those solutions, which will contribute to a more reliable, economical and secure operation of future smart grids. They are addressed in eighteen manuscripts, briefly discussed below.

To this aim WAMPAC requires precise phasor and frequency information, which are acquired by deploying multiple time-synchronized sensors, known as Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), providing precise synchronized information about voltage and current phasors, frequency and rate-of-change-of-frequency.

Recent developments in smart measurement devices coupled with data communication technologies allow for significant improvements in power systems’ reliability, efficiency, and security. These technological advancements make WAMPAC systems of significant practical interest.
In terms of WAMPAC or any other smart-grid application, the security sections of this RFC serve as a catalog of proven methods to consider in order to meet the security needs for the application, once these are identified.
One such circumstance is a widespread compromise of WAMPAC data for which there is no reliable method of detecting that a compromise has occurred. Achievement of cyber security for WAMPAC will depend upon a full understanding of such circumstances and their mitigation.
WAMPAC solutions are used across different personnel groups within a given utility company, as well as across different enterprises such as transmission system operator (TSO) and independent system operator (ISO). This requires consistent cyber security policies across multiple legal entities (enterprises) and perhaps Federal/state jurisdictions.
The team framed the initial query as follows: Device that provides data for wide area protection, monitoring and control (WAMPAC) The device might be a digital fault recorder (DFR), a phasor measurement unit (PMU) or a protective relay.
Penetration testing of WAMPAC solutions for cyber security vulnerability is currently ad-hoc and needs to be fully specified to reflect test scenarios, test methods, test plans, and the metrics for test performance assessment. Identify cyber security vulnerabilities of WAMPAC solutions. This includes software and hardware vulnerabilities.
