Abstract

With the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Smart Grids (SGs), the number and types of attacks targeting the Cyber-Physical Security (CPS) of modern energy systems have been increasing drastically in recent times. Hence, in the present paper, a software testbed is designed and implemented in order to study the CPS of IEC 61850-based electrical substations. It is entirely based on (mostly open-source) software simulation, which makes it cost-effective and easy to reproduce. Furthermore, the proposed testbed offers an acceptable level of details/abstraction for both the network and the physical parts as well as the communication between them. First attack scenarios against the communication network of the electrical substations are implemented in this framework with a detailed description of the different steps. Respective results are reported which underpin the potential of the proposed simulation testbed, also for designing respective countermeasures for the CPS of SGs.

基于IEC 61850的变电站网络物理安全的低成本软件测试平台

随着信息通信技术(ICT)与智能电网(SGs)的融合，针对现代能源系统网络物理安全(CPS)的攻击数量和类型近年来急剧增加。因此，在本文中，为了研究基于IEC 61850的变电站的CPS，设计并实现了一个软件测试平台。它完全基于(大部分是开源的)软件模拟，这使得它具有成本效益并且易于复制。此外，所建议的测试平台为网络和物理部分以及它们之间的通信提供了一个可接受的细节/抽象级别。在此框架中实现了针对变电站通信网络的第一种攻击场景，并详细描述了不同的攻击步骤。报告了各自的结果，这些结果支持了所提出的模拟试验台的潜力，也为设计SGs CPS的相应对策提供了依据。
