Large-scale photovoltaic (PV) electricity production plants rely on reliable operation and maintenance (O&M) systems, often operated by means of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms aimed at limiting, as much as possible, the intrinsic volatility of this energy resource. The current trend is to develop SCADAs that achieve the finest possible control of the system components to efficiently and effectively cope with possible energy delivery problems. In this study, we investigated an innovative design of an IoT-based SCADA specifically tailored for large PV systems in which data transmission overheads are reduced by adopting lightweight protocols, and reliable data storage is achieved by means of hybrid solutions that allow the storage of historical data, enabling accurate performance analysis and predictive maintenance protocols. The proposed solution relies on an architecture where independent functional microservices handle specific tasks, ensuring scalability and fault tolerance. The technical approaches for IoT-SCADA connectivity are herein described in detail, comparing different possible technical choices. The proposed IoT-based SCADA is based on edge computing for latency reduction and to enhance real-time decision making, enabling scalability, and centralized management while leveraging cloud services. The resulting hybrid solutions that combine edge and cloud resources offer a balance between responsiveness and scalability. Finally, in the study, a blockchain solution was taken into account to certify energy data, ensuring traceability, security, and reliability in commercial transactions.

Electric power substations, as critical components of modern power grids, are increasingly becoming targets for intentional physical attacks, including vandalism, theft, and sabotage. These threats, coupled with the potential for cyber-attacks and the weaponization of technologies, necessitate robust security measures and comprehensive auditing practices. Despite utilities providers’ focus on understanding grid vulnerability and implementing physical security upgrades, there is a recognized gap in evaluating the effectiveness and long-term usability of these measures. This paper addresses the need for regular security audits to identify vulnerabilities and ensure the overall resilience of substations against evolving threats. The rationale behind this study is to propose a conventional auditing method that includes an auditing framework, checklists, inspections, and post-inspection suggestions. Through the systematic identification and addressing of vulnerabilities via security auditing, the framework aims to significantly enhance the resilience of substations against physical threats. This paper provides a comprehensive guideline for the physical security auditing procedure, which is essential for the reliable operation of the power grid.
