Arjun rubbed his temples. The classic symptom of a cyber-physical attack—malware injecting false data into the state estimation. The computer believed the grid was stable when it was tearing itself apart. The numerical models had gone blind. nagoor kani power system analysis

Arjun opened his eyes. The grid was breathing again.
