The invention of “smart grid” promises to improve the efficiency and reliability of the power system. As smart grid is turning out to be one of the most promising technologies, its security concerns are becoming more crucial. The grid is susceptible to different types of attacks. This paper will focus on these threats and risks especially relating to cyber security. Cyber security is a vital topic, since the smart grid uses high level of computation like the IT. We will also see cryptography and key management techniques that are required to overcome these attacks. Privacy of consumers is another important security concern that this paper will deal with.

Standards are the set of details of a product that defines the applicability of a product for a distinct usage or details that determines the fulfillment of a system or a device for a given application. The development of smart grid over past few decades had led to development of various standards in various areas pertaining to smart grid deployment. These standards are already well established or being under developmental stage covering vast fields of power system elements and variety of functionalities. An overview of standards that are deployed in the smart grid development environment mainly concentrating on Energy Management System (EMS) & SCADA, substation automation, metering, Electric Vehicles(EVs), Distributed Generation (DG), internet related and cyber security is presented in this paper.

The future power system will be an innovative administration of existing power grids, which is called smart grid. Above all, the application of advanced communication and computing tools is going to significantly improve the productivity and consistency of smart grid systems with renewable energy resources. Together with the topographies of the smart grid, cyber security appears as a serious concern since a huge number of automatic devices are linked through communication networks. Cyber attacks on those devices had a direct influence on the reliability of extensive infrastructure of the power system.  In this survey, several published works related to smart grid system vulnerabilities, potential intentional attacks, and suggested countermeasures for these threats have been investigated.
