WEBINAR | Part 4 | Cybersecurity Simulation: Ensuring the Protection of Power Grids

​Cybersecurity Readiness Via Simulated Cyberattack -- This Cyber-Physical System Real-Time Simulation features a microgrid subjected to cyberattacks. An OPAL-RT Real-Time Simulator co-simulates a microgrid system, including distributed energy resources (DERs), power converters, and loads modeled in HYPERSIM.

A high-fidelity communications network emulator, EXata, is also running on the Real-Time Simulator to emulate communication between the microgrid and controller. Using EXata, command and measurement signals between the controller and microgrid are subjected to cyberattacks causing unexpected behavior within the system.

This demonstration co-simulates electric power grids and industrial communications networks in Real-Time for Cyber-Physical System simulation, allowing the creation of rich scenarios for advanced Cybersecurity studies.
