  • This paper presents a unified model based assessment framework to quantify threats and vulnerabilities associated with control systems, especially in the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. In the past, this system was primarily utilized as an isolated facility on a local basis, and then it started to be integrated with wide-area networks as the communication technology would make rapid progress. The introduction of smart grid, which is an innovative application of digital processing and communications to the power grid, might lead to more and more cyber threats originated from IT systems. However, an up-to-date power system often requires the real-time operations, which clearly implies that the cyber security would turn out to be a complicated but also crucial issue for the power system. In short, the purpose of this paper is to streamline a comprehensive approach to prioritizing cyber security risks which are expressed by the combination of threats, vulnerabilities, and values in the SCADA components.

  • In accordance with the Government's policy, renewable power generation is expanding very largely. This leads to increasing uncertainty in the power market and power system owing to the intermittent and fluctuating output characteristics of renewable power generators. Data on the acquisition of renewable power generators can be largely classified according to the operation of the power market and power system. Data on the settlement for the payment for the power amount are acquired in the power market, and real-time data for monitoring the status and output of the generators are acquired in the power system. However, renewable power generators operating in the power market have different acquisition cycles depending on the method of communication of the power meter. They acquire data only for settlement purposes and have no real-time data, which requires improvement. In this paper, the acquisition status is reviewed by classifying the data of renewable power generators into settlement and real-time data. In addition, measures and acquisition criteria for real-time data of renewable power generators for improving the acquisition method are proposed.

  • SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system for control and supervision of power system is now being operated in KEPCO with high performance. But the performance of RGS(Report Generating System) is comparatively insufficient because the SCADA system was produced for special purpose performing in real time. Therefore, we have performed this study applied for the purpose of processing the statistic data of power network and improving facilities and availabilities of the system.

  • The recent trend of logistics demands for improved monitoring system of the inside of containers including current temperature and other environmental conditions. This paper presents an information processing technique with fuzzy logic that recognizes the current situations inside the target container and can be implemented on intelligent container systems. The ZigBee modules are used to collect information such as temperature, humidity, and shock inside the container in ubiquitous environment. The information processing system using fuzzy logic and the InTouch, one of SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, is implemented to monitor the inside of the container and predict the emergency state.

  • Power control system like SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is gathering information using RS232C and low-speed analog communication network. In general, these methods are known as secure because of the secure characteristics from the analog based communication network and serial communication. In this study, first we build DNP communication environment using commercial power control simulator and find some vulnerabilities by testing from the viewpoint of confidentiality, integrity and availability. Consequently, we see the necessity of a valid method for authentication and data encryption when gathering information, even though that is known as secure so far. Discussion of needs of DNP authentication and data encryption is started about several years ago, but there is still nowhere applied that on real environment because the current methods can not fully meet the security requirements of the real environment. This paper suggests a solution to the vulnerabilities, and propose some considerations for enhancing power control system's security level by applying DNP authentication and data encryption.

  • TTCN-3(Testing & Test Control Notation Version 3) is the international standard testing language defined by ETSI in 2001. TTCN-3 is generally used for protocol conformance test, but it is also possible to be applied to the platform and API tests based on CORBA. Moreover, it can be also applied to the various testings such as interworking testing, repetition testing, platform testing, etc. IEC 61850 is the protocol proposed for SAS(Substation Automation System) of SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. In this paper, a IEC 61850 interoperability Tester based TTCN-3 is developed under the Window environment. IEC 61850 Server Simulator of Linux operating system is used as SUT(System Under Test). Conformance testing items in this paper are the Positive test case_Srv5 of "Server, Logical device, Logical node, and data model" in the testing group of "IEC 61850 - Part10" document.
