  • The smart grid, a new open platform, is a core application for facilitating a creative economy in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is one of the components of the smart grid and a two-way communications infrastructure between the main utility operator and customer. The smart meter records consumption of electrical energy and communicates that information back to the utility for monitoring and billing. This paper investigates the impact of a cybersecurity attack on the smart meter. We analyze the cost to the smart grid in the case of a smart meter attack by authorized users based on a high risk scenario from NESCOR. Our findings could be used by policy makers and utility operators to create investment decision-making models for smart grid security.

  • The core services in cloud computing environment are SaaS (Software as a Service), Paas (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). Among these three core services server virtualization belongs to IaaS and is a service technology to reduce the server maintenance expenses. Normally, the primary purpose of sever virtualization is building and maintaining a new well functioning server rather than using several existing servers, and in improving the various system performances. Often times this presents an issue in that there might be a need to increase expenses in order to build a new server. This study intends to use grid service architecture for a form of server virtualization which utilizes the existing servers rather than introducing a new server. More specifically, the proposed system is to enhance system performance and to reduce the corresponding expenses, by adopting a scheduling algorithm among the distributed servers and the constituents for grid computing thereby supporting the server virtualization service. Furthermore, the proposed server virtualization system will minimize power management by adopting the sleep severs, the subsidized servers and the grid infrastructure. The power maintenance expenses for the sleep servers will be lowered by utilizing the ACPI (Advanced Configuration & Power Interface) standards with the purpose of overcoming the limits of server performance.

  • In this paper, we designed the security management system based on IEC 62351-7 in the Smart Grid environment. The scope of IEC 62351-7 focuses on network and system management (NSM) of the information infrastructure as well as end-to-end security through abstract NSM data objects for the power system operational environment. However, it does not exist that security management system based on IEC 62351-7 manages the security of the power system in the Smart Grid environment, because power equipment or SNMP agents providing NSM data do not exist yet. Therefore, we implemented the security management system to manage the information infrastructure as reliably as the power system infrastructure is managed. We expect that this system can perform the security management of IEC 61850 based digital substation and can be a prototype of the security system for the Smart Grid in the future.

  • 저탄소 녹색성장 정책의 일환으로 추진되는 Smart Grid 사업은, 전력인프라와 IT인프라가 융합 되면서 지능화된 전기 에너지의 효율성 향상을 목적으로 전기망 내 송배전을 실시간으로 관리할 수 있게 운영하는 지능형 전기망이다. 하지만 기존의 인터넷망과 IT 통신 인프라와 융합되면서 Smart Grid 인프라에서도 IT보안 취약점 문제가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 Smart Grid 인프라를 요소별로 분석한다. 그리고 Smart Grid 인프라의 보안성 분석을 통하여 보안의 취약점을 가져 올 수 있는 Smart Grid에 대한 보안 이슈를 분석한다. 그리고 Smart Grid 보안성 기준에 따른 보안기술정책을 연구하고, 보안 표준과 보안 방안을 제시한다. 본 연구를 통하여 안전한 Smart Grid 보안기술정책을 위한 법 제정에 기초자료가 될 것이다.

  • Advances in networking infrastructure have led to the development of a new type of "computational grid" infrastructure that provides predictable, consistent and uniform access to geographically distributed resources such as computers, data repositories, scientific instruments, and advanced display devices Such Grid environments are being used to construct sophisticated, performance-sensitive applications in such areas as dynamic, distributed real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a toolset for designing distributed real-time systems based on computational grid. The toolset is based on a new methodology and integrates the models that methodology Proposed for designing real-time systems.

  • Smart grid (SG) software platforms and communication networks that run and manage the entire grid are increasingly concerned about cyber security. Characteristics of the smart grid networks, including heterogeneity, time restrictions, bandwidth, scalability, and other factors make it difficult to secure. The age-old strategy of "building bigger walls" is no longer sufficient given the rise in the quantity and size of cyberattacks as well as the sophisticated methods threat actor uses to hide their actions. Cyber security experts utilize technologies and procedures to defend IT systems and data from intruders. The primary objective of every organization's cybersecurity team is to safeguard data and information technology (IT) infrastructure. Consequently, further research is required to create guidelines and methods that are compatible with smart grid security. In this study, we have discussed objectives of of smart grid security, challenges of smart grid security, defensive cybersecurity techniques, offensive cybersecurity techniques and open research challenges of cybersecurity.

  • HLA (High Level Architecture) 는 모델링과 시뮬레이션 분야에서 상호 이질적인 서비스에 따른 어플리케이션의 상호운용성(interoperability)과 재사용성(reusability)을 증진시키기 위해 필요한 infrastructure를 개발하기 위한 청사진이다. RTI(RunTime Infrastructure)는 HLA 의 소프트웨어적 도구로써 IibTRI, FedExec, RTIExec의 세 가지 컴포넌트로 구성되어 있다. RTI는 분산환경에서 동적으로 다수대다수간의 통신을 제공하는 미들웨어 (middleware)이다. 대규모의 분산 시뮬레이션의 실행은 지리적으로 퍼져있는 많은 양의 컴퓨팅 자원을 필요로 할 수 있는데 이러한 환경이 가지는 보안과 동적 자원 할당이라는 문제점을 Globus Toolkit3(GT3)안의 Open Grid Service Arcitecture(OGSA)를 사용해서 해결할 수 있는 RTI-G를 개발해 왔고 이를 service-oriented RTI-G라 부른다. 이 논문에서는 service-oriented RTI on Grid 의 구조와 앞에 제시된 문제점들의 해결방안을 제시하고 실험한다.

  • ISO/IEC 15118 is a standard for communications and services for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Although this standard deals only with data communication between an electric vehicle and a charge station, communication with the outside is essential for establishing an authentication system for vehicle certification and V2G service for electric power transmission. In this study, it was designed to verify the information of electric car charging infrastructure in electric power system through communication link between ISO/IEC 15118 electric vehicle model and IEC 61850 standard MMS protocol. This is demonstrated in the field so that the electric vehicle communication data is linked with the micro grid management system. This could be used as an element technology in other distributed power sources as well as electric cars in the future.

  • Smart grid is a network of computers and power infrastructure that monitor and manage energy usage efficiently. Recently, the smart grid demonstration projects around the world, including the United States, Europe, Japan, and the technology being developed. The protection of the many components of the grid against cyber-threats has always been critical, but the recent Smart grid has been threatened by a variety of cyber and physical attacks. We model and analyze advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) in smart grid. Using attack countermeasure tree(ACT) we show qualitative and probabilistic security analysis of AMI. We implement using SHARPE(Symbolic Hierarchical Automated Reliability and Performance Evaluator) tool and calculate probability, ROA, ROI, Structure Importance, Birnbaum Importance.
