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.\nThis talk will describe how the developed solution can protect the power grid and industrial infrastructure from cyb er-attacks and build cybersecurity protection into emerging power grid com ponents and services. This includes microgrid and demand-side management c omponents and protecting the network (substations and productivity lines) and data infrastructure (SCADA) to increase the resilience of the energy d elivery systems against cyber-attacks. These developments will also help u tility security systems manage large amounts of cybersecurity risk data an d cybersecurity operations. For these developments to succeed\, cybersecur ity testbeds and testing methodologies are necessary to evaluate the effec tiveness of any proposed security technologies.\nThe focus on developing c ybersecurity capabilities in energy systems should span over multiple stra tegies: in the near term\, midterm\, and long term. Continuous security st ate monitoring across cyber-physical domains is the goal in the near term. The development of continually defending interoperable components that co ntinue operating in degraded conditions is required in the midterm. Develo ping methodologies to mitigate cyber incidents to return to normal operati ons quickly is necessary for all system components in the long term. We wi ll discuss R&D efforts in these areas centered on developing operational f rameworks related to communication and interoperability\, control\, and pr otection.\nThe importance of interoperability between smart grid applicati ons and multi-vendor devices must be considered. The current grid comprise s multi-vendor devices and multi-lingual applications that add to the comp lexity of integrating and securing the smart grid components. Standards de velopment entities have been working with utilities\, vendors\, and regula tory bodies to develop standards that address smart grid interoperability. These include IEEE\, IEC\, NIST\, ANSI\, NERC\, and others. In this prese ntation\, we will conceptualize a comprehensive cyber-physical platform th at involves the communication and power network sides integrating the cybe r information flow\, physical information flow\, and the interaction betwe en them. A data-centric communication middleware provides a common-data bu s to orchestrate the system’s components\, leading to an expandable mult i-lingual system. We will present a hardware protocol gateway that was dev eloped as a protocol translator capable of mapping IEC 61850 generic objec t-oriented substation event (GOOSE) and sampled measured value (SMV) messa ges into the data-centric Data Distribution Service (DDS) global data bus. This is necessary for integrating the widely used IEC 61850-based devices into an exhaustive microgrid control and security framework.\nWe will als o discuss a scalable cloud-based Multi-Agent System for controlling large- scale penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their infrastructure into the power grid. This is a system that can survive cyber-attacks while sus taining critical functions. This framework’s network will be assessed by applying contingencies and identifying the resulting signatures for detec tion in real-time operation. As a result\, protective measures can be take n to address the dynamic threats in the foreseen grid-integrated EV parks where the developed system will have an automated response to a cyber-atta ck.\nIn distributed energy management systems\, the protection system must be adaptive. Communication networks assist in reacting to dynamic changes in the microgrid configurations. This presentation will also describe a n ewly developed protection scheme with extensive communication provided by the IEC 61850 standard for power networks to monitor the microgrid during these dynamic changes. The robustness and availability of the communicatio n infrastructure are required for the success of protection measures. This adaptive protection scheme for AC microgrids can survive communication fa ilures through energy storage systems.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Toronto PE LS/IAS Section\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Osama Mohammed\n\nRoom: 1140\, Bldg: UA\, 2000 Simcoe Street North\, Oshawa\, Ontario\, Canada\, L1G0C5 LOCATION:Room: 1140\, Bldg: UA\, 2000 Simcoe Street North\, Oshawa\, Ontari o\, Canada\, L1G0C5 ORGANIZER:mohamed.youssef@ontariotechu.ca SEQUENCE:12 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/495903 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The development of innovative cybersecurit y technologies\, tools\, and methodologies that advance the energy system& rsquo\;s ability to survive cyber-attacks and incidents while sustaining c ritical functions is needed for the secure operation of utility and indust rial systems. It is essential to verify and validate the ability of the de veloped solutions and methodologies so that they can be effectively used i n practice. Developing solutions to mitigate cyber vulnerabilities through out the energy delivery system is essential to protect hardware assets. It will also make systems less susceptible to cyber threats and provide reli able delivery of electricity if a cyber incident occurs.<br>This talk will describe how the developed solution can protect the power grid and indust rial infrastructure from cyber-attacks and build cybersecurity protection into emerging power grid components and services. This includes microgrid and demand-side management components and protecting the network (substati ons and productivity lines) and data infrastructure (SCADA) to increase th e resilience of the energy delivery systems against cyber-attacks. These d evelopments will also help utility security systems manage large amounts o f cybersecurity risk data and cybersecurity operations.

Continuous security state monitoring across cyber-physical domains is the goal in the near term. The development of continually defending in teroperable components that continue operating in degraded conditions is r equired in the midterm. Developing methodologies to mitigate cyber inciden ts to return to normal operations quickly is necessary for all system comp onents in the long term. We will discuss R&amp\;D efforts in these areas c entered on developing operational frameworks related to communication and interoperability\, control\, and protection.<br>The importance of interope rability between smart grid applications and multi-vendor devices must be considered. The current grid comprises multi-vendor devices and multi-ling ual applications that add to the complexity of integrating and securing th e smart grid components. Standards development entities have been working with utilities\, vendors\, and regulatory bodies to develop standards that address smart grid interoperability.
