The simulators used by DSO’s and TSO’s to train operators can be divided into two groups.
On the one hand, dispatch training simulators simulate the temporal evolution of power
system characteristics, such as voltage levels, and are used to train power system operators
responsible for maintaining the power balance of the system. Dispatch training simulators
do not simulate the system components involved in controlling the power system. On the
other hand, power system simulators simulate the network components, e.g., RTUs, the
secondary systems (i.e., protection systems) and their interactions. They do not include
however physical models of the power system. These two types of simulators are typically
developed separately, and satisfy different modelling and architectural requirements. The
successful identification of intrusions requires, however, a better dynamic knowledge of the
whole system, the physical processes, the network components and the IT infrastructure.
In WP5 we will develop a test-bed by integrating a dispatch training simulator and a power
system simulator with a simulator of the communication infrastructure. Such an integrated
test-bed enables the verification of the impact analysis developed in WP3 and intrusion
detection methods developed in WP4
In addition to the individual advances to state-of-the-art outlined in the preceding sections,
the VIKING project adds an important dimension by linking the system-wide models and
assessment methods developed in WP2 and WP3, with specific technical requirement and
solutions developed within WP1 and WP4. Thereby the VIKING initiative enables top-tobottom
security analysis, mitigation and protection through the linking of system side
security assessment based on architecture models developed in WP2 and WP3 with
implementation of specific protocols for mitigation and protection developed within WP4. |
