“…To ensure the security of a SCADA system, several techniques can be used. Some of these techniques include a security technique focused on the communication channel or network as discussed in [27][28][29], a technique focused on protecting the hardware components as in [30], and a data-driven technique focused on protecting the cloud server as discussed in [6,25,31,32], or a combination of two or more of these techniques [27,33]. The SCADA system proposed in this work considers a combination of some of these security techniques, including the private network management and the data-driven private cloud server management techniques.…”

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a technology for monitoring and controlling distributed processes. SCADA provides real-time data exchange between a control/monitoring centre and field devices connected to the distributed processes. A SCADA system performs these functions using its four basic elements: Field Instrumentation Devices (FIDs) such as sensors and actuators which are connected to the distributed process plants being managed, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) such as single board computers for receiving, processing and sending the remote data from the field instrumentation devices, Master Terminal Units (MTUs) for handling data processing and human machine interactions, and lastly SCADA Communication Channels for connecting the RTUs to the MTUs, and for parsing the acquired data. Generally, there are two classes of SCADA hardware and software; Proprietary (Commercial) and Open Source. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a low-cost, Open Source SCADA system by using Thinger.IO local server IoT platform as the MTU and ESP32 Thing micro-controller as the RTU. SCADA architectures have evolved over the years from monolithic (stand-alone) through distributed and networked architectures to the latest Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. The SCADA system proposed in this work is based on the Internet of Things SCADA architecture which incorporates web services with the conventional (traditional) SCADA for a more robust supervisory control and monitoring. It comprises of analog Current and Voltage Sensors, the low-power ESP32 Thing micro-controller, a Raspberry Pi micro-controller, and a local Wi-Fi Router. In its implementation, the current and voltage sensors acquire the desired data from the process plant, the ESP32 micro-controller receives, processes and sends the acquired sensor data via a Wi-Fi network to the Thinger.IO local server IoT platform for data storage, real-time monitoring and remote control. The Thinger.IO server is locally hosted by the Raspberry Pi micro-controller, while the Wi-Fi network which forms the SCADA communication channel is created using the Wi-Fi Router. In order to test the proposed SCADA system solution, the designed hardware was set up to remotely monitor the Photovoltaic (PV) voltage, current, and power, as well as the storage battery voltage of a 260 W, 12 V Solar PV System. Some of the created Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) on Thinger.IO Server where an operator can remotely monitor the data in the cloud, as well as initiate supervisory control activities if the acquired data are not in the expected range, using both a computer connected to the network, and Thinger.IO Mobile Apps are presented in the paper.2 of 24 plants and industrial processes both locally and remotely. The system involves the examination, collection, and processing of data in real time, as well as data logging for historical purposes. The architectural design of a standard SCADA system starts with Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and/or Programmable Logic Controllers...

The entire electrical system is changing at an abrupt speed since its beginning. With the rapid advance of renewable energies (which are constantly subject to fluctuations), the electricity generation is distributed to countless locations. The traditional model of the unidirectional flow of electricity is leaning towards multidirectional flows. This situation needs significant changes in the transport infrastructure of the electrical power system and mode of operation. Technological advancements are making a smarter and more organized management system of electricity supply and demand. This development needs to incorporate modern communication, monitoring, and control capabilities, along with the intelligent transport, generation, and storage value chain. Digital substations integrate thousands of sensors by providing greater comfort, self-reliance, availability, and safety while at the same time reducing costs, risks, and environmental damage. Conventional power system lacks digital communication, remote monitoring & control, and consumer participation. Fiber-optic cabling in digital substations will attain not only real-time data transmission but also remote maintenance. The comparison between conventional and digital substations has also been presented in this work along with latest trends in smart protection. Electronic protection and control devices based on a microprocessor, communicating with cloud servers, will enhance the flexibility to control and monitor the digital substations. A significant amount of data generated by components in the electrical substations will allow greater sophistication of the monitoring, diagnostic, protection and optimization capabilities of the facilities. The goal for the review of said advancements is to have a smart electrical system with greater efficiency and better user experience.

“…They also came up with a metric, the component interdependency graph (CIG) and proposed CIG based attack strategy, which is proven to have stronger attack performance. The multidimensional Intrusion detection system (IDS) for IEC 61850 based smart substations has come up as an effective tool in detection of any attack on the substation [7]. It has been designed to detect any activity or complexity of communications by intruders.…”

Nowadays, our lives have become very much dependent on the power systems, whether it is in home or in offices or anywhere. Any failure in the power systems can bring our lives to a halt. To ensure no power fault, a continuous and remote monitoring, control and automation are needed. The implementation of constraints increases the efficiency of the power systems. But, to put monitoring, control and automation into practice we need network, and with this come the threat of cyber-attacks. With more open standard-based communication network, the automated power systems have become the target of the cyber-attacks. By exploiting the cyber components in networks, critical cyber components can be manipulated. Intruders can tamper the communication links by injecting false or modified data. To come up with security measures against these attacks, vulnerabilities of the power systems are being assessed to analyze the impacts of the cyber-attacks. Several techniques have been implemented so far to make the power systems less prone to threats. In this paper, technology like Machine Learning is used as anomaly discriminator and to provide security to the power system against the cyber threats.
