Bad-data detection in smart grid: a distributed approach

This chapter is motivated by the fact that wide-area monitoring, control and protection (WAMPAC) are becoming increasingly important in the vision for future smart grid operations [1]. Technological advances in sensing, communication, and computation could enable smart grid operations with improved situational awareness. This improved situational awareness could lead to more reliable and economical integration of renewable energy resources, as well as to the prevention of potential blackouts [1].
