However, these systems together with protection measures and additional control actions (using protocol IEC61850) seem not to be enough to free substations of security attacks (e.g. virus, intruders, forgery or unauthorized data manipulation). This paper analyzes the main features of an electric power substation together with the aspects that might be significantly affected by cyber-attacks. The paper also presents the implementation of a specific security system (i.e. firewall-wise system) intended to protect a target distribution network.展开更多

Relay protection equipment faces all the challenges brought by the application of these new technologies. After analyzing the demand for test, the authors propose testing methods and technical requirements targeting the test items in great need, including ICD model file test, digital interface performance test, coordination performance test with merging unit and smart terminal, network pressure test. And the problems occurring during the tests are summarized.展开更多
