Smart grids can have 2 to 3 orders of magnitude larger number of connected intelligent devices than the internet, making network monitoring and managing extremely difficult.
“size of the system as SGs can have 2 to 3 orders of magnitude larger number of connected intelligent devices than the internet, making network monitoring and managing extremely difficult [26]”
From Energy system resilience – A review (2021) · cites this paper as [26]
The Vulnerabilities section says the smart-grid network is 100 to 1000 times larger than the internet and that this makes monitoring and management extremely difficult. It discusses intelligent devices, but does not explicitly say their number is 100 to 1000 times greater than the number connected to the internet. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredDigital networks in energy infrastructure differ from established information and communication technology networks such as the internet, which severely limits the applicability of existing cybersecurity solutions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
