Assessing Power Substation Network Security and Survivability: A Work in Progress Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports our experiences with identifying cyber-based threats to the survivability of power substation control networks. Observations from the initial application of vulnerability and hardening assessment techniques have been presented. The paper also discusses the state of the power industry cyber security, which appears to lag behind the state-ofthe-practice in both network security and ultrareliable systems design.

Risk Analysis and Probabilistic Survivability Assessment (RAPSA): An Assessment Approach for Power Substation Hardening
1 Portions of this work were funded by grant #60NANB1D0116 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. Dept. of Commerce. Abstract In this paper we present a new cyber security assessment approach, which merges Survivability System Analysis (SSA) with Probability Risk Assessment (PRA). The method adds quantitative information to the process oriented SSA method, which assists w...
متن کاملSafeguarding Ieds, Substations, and Scada Systems against Electronic Intrusions
United States agencies involved with national security are concerned about the vulnerability of the North American electric power grid to electronic intrusions, commonly known as cyber attacks. Several studies have identified changing socio-economic conditions that increase the probability of an electronic, computer-based attack being launched against a utility or substation, causing regional a...
متن کاملSubstation Expansion Planning Based on BFOA
In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal planning of power systems. Substation Expansion Planning (SEP) as a sub-system of power system planning consists of finding the most economical solution with the optimal location and size of future substations and/or feeders to meet the future demand. The large number of design variables, and combination of discrete ...
