Abstract
The power SCADA system is designed to ensure the safe operation of the power system. The SCADA communication network as an information exchange carrier between remote terminal units and master stations, is the key part of the SCADA system, and it has a high requirement for security. However, due to the wide distribution of the network and the interconnected network structure, it is susceptible to risks. So there is an urgent need for accurate and real-time risk prediction. In this paper, we propose a risk prediction model based on entropy-gray model, where the gray model is used to predict the values of the network risk indexes, and the entropy method is to determine the weight of those risk indexes. Finally, the overall risk value of the network is decided with analytic hierarchy process. Simulation results show that the proposed entropy-gray method can achieve accurate and timely risk prediction.
