Analysis of Selected Electric Sector High Risk Failure Scenarios – Version 2.0 (technical lead and co-author)

This document builds upon the previously published NESCOR document, “Electric Sector Failure Scenarios and Impact Analyses document and provides detailed analyses for a subset of the failure scenarios. All analyses presented include an attack tree, which details in a formal notation, the logical dependencies of conditions that allow the failure scenario to occur. Several of the analyses also provide a detailed text write up for the scenario, in addition to the attack tree. Failure scenarios in the short failure scenario document were prioritized for inclusion in the present document, based upon level of risk for the failure scenario, the priorities of NESCOR utility members, and the priorities of the generation working team.
