It is essent ial to verify and validate the ability of the developed solutions and meth odologies so that they can be effectively used in practice. Developing sol utions to mitigate cyber vulnerabilities throughout the energy delivery sy stem is essential to protect hardware assets. It will also make systems le ss susceptible to cyber threats and provide reliable delivery of electrici ty if a cyber incident occurs.\n\nThis talk will describe how the develope d solution can protect the power grid and industrial infrastructure from c yber-attacks and build cybersecurity protection into emerging power grid c omponents and services. This includes microgrid and demand-side management components and protecting the network (substations and productivity lines ) and data infrastructure (SCADA) to increase the resilience of the energy delivery systems against cyber-attacks. These developments will also help utility security systems manage large amounts of cybersecurity risk data and cybersecurity operations. For these developments to succeed\, cybersec urity testbeds and testing methodologies are necessary to evaluate the eff ectiveness of any proposed security technologies.\n\nThe focus on developi ng cybersecurity capabilities in energy systems should span over multiple strategies: in the near term\, midterm\, and long term. Continuous securit y state monitoring across cyber-physical domains is the goal in the near t erm. The development of continually defending interoperable components tha t continue operating in degraded conditions is required in the midterm. De veloping methodologies to mitigate cyber incidents to return to normal ope rations quickly is necessary for all system components in the long term. W e will discuss R&D efforts in these areas centered on developing operation al frameworks related to communication and interoperability\, control\, an d protection.\n\nThe importance of interoperability between smart grid app lications and multi-vendor devices must be considered. The current grid co mprises multi-vendor devices and multi-lingual applications that add to th e complexity of integrating and securing the smart grid components. Standa rds development entities have been working with utilities\, vendors\, and regulatory bodies to develop standards that address smart grid interoperab ility. These include IEEE\, IEC\, NIST\, ANSI\, NERC\, and others. In this presentation\, we will conceptualize a comprehensive cyber-physical platf orm that involves the communication and power network sides integrating th e cyber information flow\, physical information flow\, and the interaction between them. A data-centric communication middleware provides a common-d ata bus to orchestrate the system’s components\, leading to an expandabl e multi-lingual system. We will present a hardware protocol gateway that w as developed as a protocol translator capable of mapping IEC 61850 generic object-oriented substation event (GOOSE) and sampled measured value (SMV) messages into the data-centric Data Distribution Service (DDS) global dat a bus. This is necessary for integrating the widely used IEC 61850-based d evices into an exhaustive microgrid control and security framework.\n\nWe will also discuss a scalable cloud-based Multi-Agent System for controllin g large-scale penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their infrastruct ure into the power grid. This is a system that can survive cyber-attacks w hile sustaining critical functions. This framework’s network will be ass essed by applying contingencies and identifying the resulting signatures f or detection in real-time operation. As a result\, protective measures can be taken to address the dynamic threats in the foreseen grid-integrated E V parks where the developed system will have an automated response to a cy ber-attack.\n\nIn distributed energy management systems\, the protection s ystem must be adaptive. Communication networks assist in reacting to dynam ic changes in the microgrid configurations. This presentation will also de scribe a newly developed protection scheme with extensive communication pr ovided by the IEC 61850 standard for power networks to monitor the microgr id during these dynamic changes. The robustness and availability of the co mmunication infrastructure are required for the success of protection meas ures. This adaptive protection scheme for AC microgrids can survive commun ication failures through energy storage systems.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Power Electronics/Industrial Electronics\n\nSpeaker(s): Osama\, \n\nRoom: UA114 0\, Bldg: UA\, 2000 Simcoe Street North\, Oshawa\, Ontario\, Canada\, L1G7 K4 LOCATION:Room: UA1140\, Bldg: UA\, 2000 Simcoe Street North\, Oshawa\, Onta rio\, Canada\, L1G7K4 ORGANIZER:mohamed.youssef@ontariotechu.ca SEQUENCE:10 SUMMARY:Energy Cyber-Physical Systems and their Communication and Control C hallenges for Operational Security in Industrial Systems URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/466650 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0i n\; text-align: justify\; line-height: normal\;"><span style="mso-bidi-fon t-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">The development of innovative cybersecurity technologies\, tools\, and methodologies that advance the energy system&rsquo\;s ability to survive cyber-attacks and in cidents while sustaining critical functions is needed for the secure opera tion of utility and industrial systems.
