Smart grid (SG) is a complex cyber-physical system that utilizes modern cyber and physical equipment to run at an optimal operating point. Cyberattacks are the principal threats confronting the usage and advancement of the state-of-the-art systems. The advancement of SG has added a wide range of technologies, equipment, and tools to make the system more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. Despite attaining these goals, the threat space for the adversarial attacks has also been expanded because of the extensive implementation of the cyber networks. Due to the promising computational and reasoning capability, machine learning (ML) is being used to exploit and defend the cyberattacks in SG by the attackers and system operators, respectively. In this paper, we perform a comprehensive summary of cyberattacks generation, detection, and mitigation schemes by reviewing state-of-the-art research in the SG domain. Additionally, we have summarized the current research in a structured way using tabular format. We also present the shortcomings of the existing works and possible future research direction based on our investigation.
