Abstract: The  electric  power  grid  is  a  critical  infrastructure  that  is  vulnerable  to  physical  and  cyber  attacks.   As a result, data describing grid topology and components is considered sensitive information. There is also increasing need to foster cooperation among the participants in microgrid-enabled electric marketplace.
