UK WORKSHOP - Cyber Physical Simulation with OPAL-RT HYPERSIM and Keysight EXata CPS

Cyber-physical simulation using OPAL-RT HYPERSIM and Keysight EXata CPS enables real-time security analysis of power grids. The co-simulation approach integrates power system dynamics with communication networks to assess vulnerabilities and test cyber-defense strategies. Attack scenarios, including packet modification, denial-of-service (DoS), and malware injection, demonstrate risks to critical infrastructure. Real-world case studies, such as the Ukraine power grid cyberattack, highlight the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures. Future developments focus on advanced intrusion detection, IEC 61850 communication security, and real-time resilience testing for smart grids.
