First steps:
 * check with studinfo on the need of an essay: if needed write the essay as the "state-of-the-art"
 * literature analysis (review of 20-30 related scientific papers)
 * classify, and provide the classification
 * write 1. half a page on the potential thesis (and then start writing on the thesis - TOC)
 * ''Note: in every thesis, it is important to reduce the scope, because interesting aspects are coming up all the time. Suggestion: Make a TOC as early as possible, and write som bullet points/sentences related to that TOC"

Alternative, search Google/Microsoft for "security challenges in Smart grid" or "... in electrical distribution networks".
