We focus on the topic of cyber security in Part 3 of our Energy Talks miniseries called “Digital Transformation in the Power Industry”. In this episode, OMICRON cyber security experts Thomas Friedel and Eugenio Carvalheira discuss the importance of cyber security in the digital transformation and how it plays a critical role in power system infrastructures.

They describe recent cyber security directives in Europe and North America and their implications for power system organizations around the world. They also discuss the challenges these organizations face when implementing cyber security and offer tips to meet these challenges.

In this episode, OMICRON cyber security experts Thomas Friedel and Eugenio Carvalheira discuss the importance of cyber security in the digital transformation and how it plays a critical role in power system infrastructures.

Some governments, such as in Germany, have introduced laws which require all companies with critical infrastructures to fulfil a certain level of cyber security for their equipment and facilities. Other governments handle this topic differently. However, one thing is for certain: There are increasing risks of cyber attacks on critical power system infrastructures throughout the world which can have dangerous repercussions.

Thomas and Eugenio describe recent cyber security directives in Europe and North America and their implications for power system organizations around the world. They also discuss the challenges these organizations face in successfully implementing cyber security into their infrastructures and offer tips to meet these challenges.

Lastly, they describe how OMICRON is involved with cyber security and which solutions it offers to the power industry to deal with the growing threat of cyber attacks.

RelaySimTest is a software solution for system-based protection testing with OMICRON test equipment. The test approach is independent of relay type, manufacturer, and parameter settings. Instead, RelaySimTest completely focuses on the correct behavior of the protection system by simulating realistic power system events.

The Interactive System Simulation is a completely new test case type, which is available to all RelaySimTest customers with a CMC test set with NET-2 interface or an ARCO 400. No additional license is required. Like the Test Universe module QuickCMC, the Interactive System Simulation can continuously output the current state of the power system simulation. By changing settings, breaker and disconnector positions and adding faults, the output values will change throughout execution. Trip and close commands from the IEDs will also be integrated as breaker open and close events in non-real time.

Like Quick CMC the Interactive System Simulation is a Swiss army knife in your system-based testing workflow. Some of the potential applications we anticipate:
• Wiring, metering, and functional checks especially in setups with multiple test sets
• Training facilities where technicians are trained to operate IEDs under realistic system conditions
• Testing of long running restoration schemes
• Providing realistic system conditions for resilience testing of PAC systems under cyber attacks
