Currently, our lab consists of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) equipment, RTDS, Honeywell Experion Process Control System, and 4-tank water system as a target process. The following is a listing of equipment we have in our lab.
Honeywell Experion PKS Industrial Process Control System, with the following major components:
The RTDS simulator has the capability of interfacing directly to the SEL Relays through a hardwired connection. The RTDS simulator sends power grid measurement, breaker status and other state information to the relays, and receives event commands such as breaker open/close back from the relays. In turn, the relays communicate their status and receive commands from the SCADA control center. The connections between the SCADA control center, relays and power grid simulator provides a best-in-class emulation of an actual operating substation.
With the existing setup, attacks to the power grid can be initiated on the model system from many locations including:
