This paper proposes a decentralized control approach using co-simulation platform to monitor protective elements and provide complete protection scheme for distribution systems. Real time measurements are obtained by interfacing the system model in RSCAD/RTDS with SEL 421 relays publish/subscribe voltage current signals of buses transmission lines based on IEC 61850 communication protocol isola...

The growing convergence of Information Technology and Operational has enhanced communication visibility across power grids. This, coupled with the use Distributed Energy Resources in grids, grid capabilities while also creating a larger attack surface for malicious actors. A common protocol vulnerable to these attacks is IEC-61850 GOOSE due its low-latency requirements, multicast packet deliver...
