A Laboratory Testbed for the Evaluation of Cyber Attacks to Interacting Ict Infrastructures of Power Grid Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to evaluate the resiliency of architectures supporting teleoperation functions, a laboratory testbed, described in the paper, is being developed by CESI RICERCA in the context of the European Project CRUTIAL. The testbed implements a prototypal but significant power system control architecture with its integrated ICT infrastructure.

Cyber-Physical System Security and Impact Analysis
Electric power grids have been identified as critical infrastructures. They are increasingly dependent on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for the operation and control of physical facilities. It can be envisioned that on top of the power infrastructure reside ICT layers that are coupled with the electric grids. As the ICT connectivity increases, so does the potential for cyber...
متن کاملCyber-Physical Testbeds: Scientific Instruments for Cyber Security Assessment of Critical Infrastructures
Modern societies depend to a large degree on the quality and reliability of the services that Networked Critical Infrastructures (NCIs) provide. Physical infrastructures, such as transportation systems, the electricity grid, and telecommunication networks, provide fundamental services for the smooth functioning of the economy and for the lives of citizens. Therefore, accidental or intentional f...
متن کاملResilient Configuration of Distribution System versus False Data Injection Attacks Against State Estimation
State estimation is used in power systems to estimate grid variables based on meter measurements. Unfortunately, power grids are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Reducing cyber-attacks against state estimation is necessary to ensure power system safe and reliable operation. False data injection (FDI) is a type of cyber-attack that tampers with measurements. This paper proposes network reconfigurati...
متن کاملEnhanced power grid evaluation through efficient stochastic model-based analysis
Electrical infrastructures provide services at the basis of a number of application sectors, several of which are critical from the perspective of human life, environment or financials. Following the increasing trend in electricity generation from renewable sources, pushed by the need to meet sustainable energy goals in many countries, more sophisticated control strategies are being adopted to ...
متن کاملDeveloping a Correlation Index to Identify Coordinated Cyber-Attacks to Power Grids
The large deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exposes the power grid to a large number of coordinated cyber-attacks. Thus, it is necessary to design new security policies that allow an efficient and reliable operation in such conflicted cyber-space. The detection of cyberattacks is known to be a challenging problem, however, through the coordinated effort of defense-in-...
