Cyber Security of SCADA Network in Thermal Power Plants

Abstract

Supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) are widely used in industry for supervisory control and data acquisition of industrial processes. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility. The objective of this paper is to present the cyber security of SCADA network in thermal power plants (TPPs). So, we briefly discuss on the one hand the different steps of the application of the SCADA system and its difficulty and on the other hand we present an analysis of cyber security of SCADA network in TPPs using a system approach based the Objective Oriented Planning Project (OOPP). Thus, the functionality of a supervisory system for real time processes is presented.
