“…Since it is widely expected that at least, if not all, part of the smart grid will use IP-based protocols (e.g., IEC 61580 [35] has already adopted TCP/IP as a part of its protocol stacks) and TCP/IP is vulnerable to DoS attacks. DoS attacks against TCP/IP have been well studied in the literature regarding attacking types, prevention and response [36]- [38].…”

Abstract-A smart grid is a new form of electricity network with high fidelity power-flow control, self-healing, and energy reliability and energy security using digital communications and control technology. To upgrade an existing power grid into a smart grid, it requires significant dependence on intelligent and secure communication infrastructures. It requires security frameworks for distributed communications, pervasive computing and sensing technologies in smart grid. However, as many of the communication technologies currently recommended to use by a smart grid is vulnerable in cyber security, it could lead to unreliable system operations, causing unnecessary expenditure, even consequential disaster to both utilities and consumers. In this paper, we summarize the cyber security requirements and the possible vulnerabilities in smart grid communications and survey the current solutions on cyber security for smart grid communications.

“…IEC 61850 was originally developed for implementing interoperability among different devices and systems of different vendors in substation, and it currently has been extended and applied in various fields of power system [28][29][30][31][32]. The necessity of implementing HAM based on IEC 61850 is described as follows: (1) with the performance and security, enabling integration of protection, control, measurement and other functions.…”

Operation control is a vital and complex issue for microgrids. The objective of this paper is to explore the practical means of applying decentralized control by using a multi agent system in actual microgrids and devices. This paper presents a hierarchical control framework (HCF) consisting of local reaction control (LRC) level, local decision control (LDC) level, horizontal cooperation control (HCC) level and vertical cooperation control (VCC) level to meet different control requirements of a microgrid. Then, a hybrid multi-agent control model (HAM) is proposed to implement HCF, and the properties, functionalities and operating rules of HAM are described. Furthermore, the paper elaborates on the implementation of HAM based on the IEC 61850 Standard, and proposes some new implementation methods, such as extended information models of IEC 61850 with agent communication language and bidirectional interaction mechanism of generic object oriented substation event (GOOSE) communication. A hardware design and software system are proposed and the results of simulation and laboratory tests verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategies, models and implementations.

Abstract-High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) is an emerging standard that is suitable for mission-critical communication of IEC 61850 based Substation Automation System in smart grid, where the dependability is very important. This redundancy protocol provides zero recovery time by offering duplicated frames for separate physical paths, but it generates and circulates unnecessary traffic inside the network that will degrade the performance of the network and may cause the congestion, delay, or frame loss. To improve the HSR network performance, the main drawback of generating extra traffic should be considered and eliminated. This paper demonstrates comprehensive performance analysis of IEC 61850 based substation automation networks and applies the quick removing (QR) algorithm to improve the performance of the HSR network to overcome the major drawback. The performance analysis includes the HSR modules, i.e., Doubly Attached Node for HSR (DANH), Redundancy Box (RedBox), and Quadruple Box (QuadBox), and IEC 61850 services, i.e., Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE), Sampled Measurement Values (SMV), and report service. Performance analysis was conducted to verify the timing constraints described in IEC 61850 as a reference for designing proper HSR network topology. The numerical results show that the frame loss, restricted in mission-critical network, occurs due to large amount of traffic volume, which is the main drawback of HSR. The QR algorithm improves the traffic performance of HSR by reducing the unnecessary traffic along with the decrease of packet loss significantly.
