Attacking IEC 61850 Substations by Targeting the PTP Protocol

Safety related, distributed functions in substations and the standard IEC 61850

-In a substation, a lot of distributed, safety related functions have to be performed. IEC 61850 is intended to replace all wires by serial communication. To achieve this goal IEC 61850 has to fulfill hard real-time criteria. Starting from the definition of these criteria the communication methods of IEC 61850 are investigated. The result shows the feasibility of these methods for interlocking ...

De-Synchronisation Attack Modelling in Real-Time Protocols Using Queue Networks: Attacking the ISO/IEC 61850 Substation Automation Protocol

Applications for developed Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) protocols in several domains, particularly the energy sector, must satisfy hard real-time constraints to ensure the safety of the systems they are deployed on. These systems are highly sensitive to Quality of Service (QoS) violations, but it is not always clear whether a compliant implementation will satisfy the stated ...

Investigation of Wireless LAN for IEC 61850 based Smart Distribution Substations

Functional Testing of Substations According to Iec 61850- a New Approach

Since IEC 61850 became the widely used standard for substation communication with a lot of implementations testing is an important issue. Edition 2 is available since 2012 and offers a wide range of possibilities and sophisticated details. Due to the huge amount of prospects and different places where testing can be located and marked systematization might be helpful and will presented as an in...

IEC 61850 Communication Networks and Systems In Substations: An Overview for Users

Over the last decade, the “digitization” of the electron enterprise has grown at exponential rates. Utility, industrial, commercial, and even residential consumers are transforming all aspects of their lives into the digital domain. Moving forward, it is expected that every piece of equipment, every receptacle, every switch, and even every light bulb will possess some type of setting, monitorin...
