Abstract : Smart Grid consists of a network of computer infrastructure that takes care of power to monitor, manage and control power usage. Inclusion of various electronic, electrical and intelligent modules in the grid poses several cyber security challenges and needs different countermeasures to be applied. Micro Grid, a part of Smart Grid is also facing the same issues. This is due to the computational resource scarcity, communication constraints, and sensitive information in the data. In developing countries such as India, Micro Grid is an innovative opportunity to conserve power and reduce power consumption on a large scale. This paper gives an idea of the Micro Grid designed by our research center and shows how it helps in power conservation and lowering power consumption. Further it describes the potential security challenges faced by Micro Grid and corresponding solutions for the issues.
