“…The GOOSE protocol is utilized for announcing status updates (e.g., open/close status of circuit breaker that the IED is responsible for) with other IEDs. SV protocol, on the other hand, carries digitized analog measurements [27] from the power grid, including voltage, current, etc. Both protocols are the key enablers for protection functions such as over/under-current protection, over/under-voltage protection, and differential protection.…”

In recent years, cyber attacks against critical infrastructure have been increasing and are becoming stealthy and persistent. Attackers or malware may be hiding in the system after penetration to collect system information. They would further make lateral and vertical movement to seek target devices under the radar of existing cybersecurity measures. In order to counter such emerging attack vectors, in-network deception technology is attracting attention. In-network deception technology utilizes an apparently real but dummy (often virtual) devices deployed throughout the infrastructure to capture the attackers’ reconnaissance activities. In this paper, we pick one concrete design and implementation of in-network deception technology for IEC 61850 standard compliant smart substation systems in smart grid, named DecIED, and discuss its effectiveness in countering high-profile attacks that were recently witnessed in the real world. The evaluation is conducted based on the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix for industrial control systems, which tabulates phases and tactics of cyberattack against industrial control systems.

“…Ingram et al provide interesting insight into substation traffic and the interactions of protocols on an IEC 61850 process bus by using measurements from the prototype implementation of a substation automation system [14]. Furthermore, a detailed description of SV packets along with an analysis of the associated traffic is provided by Konka et al using simulations in NS3 [15]. In comparison to these approaches, we provide an integrated concept, which covers both the evaluation of the execution platform and the communication network.…”

The current development of the power grid towards a Smart Grid advances the complexity of the system, involving active control, new software components and large amounts of data. This, in turn, requires new approaches for the ICT infrastructure to guarantee real-time capability and reliability. In this work, we present our design of a novel infrastructure for smart substations in the transmission grid, applying the concept of virtualization to substation devices. Since virtualization has already been successfully applied for fault-tolerant and dependable computer systems, it promises to be a valuable concept for substation automation. However, virtualization poses additional challenges to the real-time capability of the substation infrastructure in terms of additional traffic and resource allocation. For analysing the impact on substation communication, we apply simulations and the analytical technique Network Calculus to provide guarantees on the performance of the proposed communication infrastructure. In addition, the performance of the execution platform is studied empirically, measuring occurring delays in a test-bed set-up. Finally, we combine the results from both evaluations to derive an end-to-end delay bound for a power grid related example. Our results show that, other than Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet networks can guarantee the secure operation of virtualized, fault-tolerant substation infrastructures.

Driven by the increasing application of Smart Grid technologies in today's power systems, communication networks are becoming more and more important for exchanging monitoring, control and protection information on local and wide area level. For communication the IEC 61850 standard is a candidate for the Smart Grid and has been introduced for Substation Automation Systems (SAS) some years ago. IEC 61850 provides interoperability among various manufactures and enables systemwide communication between intelligent components of future power systems. However, as IEC 61850 addresses Ethernet (ISO/IEC 8802-3 family) as network technology, especially high performance aspects of Ethernet have become increasingly important for time-critical communication within substation automation systems.In this paper we introduce the generic architecture of IEC 61850 and present our modelling approach for evaluating high performance and real-time capability of communication technologies for future smart grid application. First, we give a short overview of the IEC 61850 protocol and present communication flows in substation automation systems according to the standard. Here we focus on substation automation at bay level, located inside an exemplary substation node taken from the IEEE 39-bus power system network. Afterwards we demonstrate our modeling approach for communication networks based on IEC 61850. For performance evaluation we developed a simulation model along with an analytical approach on basis of Network Calculus, enabling to identify worst case boundaries for intra-substation communication. Finally results for simulative and analytical modelling are provided and cross validated for two bay level scenarios, showing the applicability of Network Calculus for real-time constrained smart grid communication.
