Abstract. One of the world's biggest obsessions is cyberattacks on electric power systems. The power system is a critical infrastructure that supplies electricity to homes, businesses, and industries. Any disruption to this system can seriously affect the economy and people's daily lives. Finding the system's vulnerability points may be the solution to preventing cyberattacks. There are numerous signs that a cyberattack has occurred. The study highlights the importance of finding vulnerability points in power systems to prevent cyberattacks and proposes a method based on network planning indicators to reduce the number of cyberattacks by implementing microgrids. At first, this paper uses the Newton-Raphson algorithm to analyse IEEE 33-bus network planning indicators to identify vulnerable points in the power system. Then, it applies microgrids to various system components to show that implementing microgrids can reduce the number of cyberattacks on the power system and increase resilience to cyber threats

Keywords: cyberattack, Microgrid, distributed generation, power system, Newton Raphson
