A Testbed for locally Monitoring SCADA Networks in Smart Grids

This paper proposes a testbed for validating how our process-aware monitoring approach is able to increase the security of decentralized SCADA networks in power grids. The testbed builds on the simulation framework Mosaik, and cosimulates in an integrated way, the power distribution network itself, and the control network (Modbus/TCP). By extending the existing Mosaik framework with with a SCADA connection and possible topology changes, the testbed allows to investigate how our decentral monitoring approach increases security in distribution networks.
