This paper presents a review on real-time simulators and their use applied to power systems in Brazil. The review comprises most of the current research made in institutions/enterprises that own real-time simulators as well as the application trends of related technologies, considering both conferences and journals published papers. It is observed that several Brazilian universities have simulators in real-time and that the publications in journals have been increased, which shows that the learning curve of the Brazilian research institutions has led to an improvement in the quality of the publications. It is also important to emphasize that the analysis of real systems in most publications indicates a trend and a demand for studies with simulators in real time, to solve problems of companies of the electric sector. Related with works that use real systems in their simulations, several publications were generated in the context of R&D projects. This shows that real-time simulators are very relevant tools for studies on power systems of companies in the electricity sector, aligning scientific research and the provision of highly specialized services.

In recent times, real-time simulation has been used to validate the testing and design of protection, control, and communications systems prior to their commissioning in the field, which has improved the reliability and security of the commissioning processes for electrical systems. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art and future trends in protection, control, and communications testing of electrical grids using real-time simulation. In addition, a summary is presented in which all the works and technologies mentioned are listed with the purpose of identifying new challenges in the proposed topic. Finally, future trends related to the use of real-time simulation for evaluating protection, control, and communications schemes are presented. Real-time simulation is very useful due to the increasing complexity of modern electrical power systems, therefore, it is necessary to use this kind of tool to facilitate field testing, avoid unnecessary work, and reduce costs for clients.

There is growing awareness towards cybersecurity threats in power systems. Deployment of more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and the communication lines increase the probability of such attacks. IEC 61850 standard facilitates communication between different IEDs and eases interoperable operation with set data and message structures. An unwanted consequence of this standardized communication over ethernet is increased viability to cyber threats. Replay and masquerade attacks are, especially, of concern due to their imminent impact on the operation. While detecting replay attacks is easier, since the original messages are used for the attack, masquerade attack messages may be difficult to distinguish from original ones. Furthermore, inadequate mitigation approaches may be tricked by the hackers and the system starts the attacker as the authentic sender and discards original messages from authentic sources. It is vital to develop an approach that incorporates message authentication. In this fashion, when the hackers modify the message contents to bypass security systems, the tampering can be detected, and the messages will be discarded. This paper analyses replay and masquerade attacks on IEC 61850 GOOSE messages and develops a solution to mitigates both of those. To detect modified messages, two distinct authentication mechanisms are utilized: RSA since it is the algorithm stipulated in IEC 62351-6 and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) due to its widespread use in smartgrid cybersecurity solutions. A full solution to mitigate GOOSE replay and masquerade attacks is developed based on the proposed framework in IEC 62351 standard. Full implementation is tested in the lab and results are included to show the viability of the solution. INDEX TERMS Cyber-physical systems, cybersecurity in power systems, IEC 61850, IEC 62351, digital signature algorithms, message integrity check. NOMENCLATURE Symbol Explanation goosePDU GOOSE data frame gooseAPDU The payload field of GOOSE packet consists of data in TLV format goosePDU.
