Networked MODBUS Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) CONTROL SYSTEM SETUP The experiment is set up with a Modbus networked primary controller and supervisor computer represented by Raspberry Pi mini-computers both connected to a network switch using LAN cables. The...
ICS Communication Architecture and Modbus Communications Modbus is a serial based communications protocol that was initially published by Modicon (Schneider Electric) in 1979 to be used with PLCs. It is robust and simple and is known as the de facto standard protocol...
The Current State of Cyber Security in Industrial Control Systems The primary objective of Enterprise Information Technology (IT) is for the movement, storage and protection of all data. The data may be records or logs that are commercial or personal in nature,...
Combined Cyber-physical attacks Addressing the issue of combined cyber-physical on the grid attacks is an ongoing effort in between the private and public sectors. Cyber-physical attacks, also known as blended attacks, are executed by an attacker or by inadvertent...
Smart Grid A “Smart grid” refers to the class of technology being used to modernize electrical power systems by employing computer-based automation and remote control devices. These systems operate by using bi-directional communication technology and computerized...
supervisory control and data acquisition ( SCADA ) SCADA systems are utilized to control geographically dispersed assets whenever centralized data acquisition is as essential as control. SCADA systems are ideal for distribution systems such as oil and gas, water...
Overview of Industrial Control Systems The term industrial control system (ICS) encompasses numerous types of control systems, such as distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, as well as programmable logic...
Modbus Monitoring for Networked Control Systems of Cyber-Defensive Architecture While the use of traditional Information and Communications Technology (ICT) security techniques (e.g. firewalls, antivirus software and intrusion detection systems) is effective for...
PLASMA-ASSISTED COMBUSTION WITH KGMF The study of plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) and plasma-assisted ignition (PAI) is motivated by the goal of optimizing combustion characteristics for novel engine concepts. The generality of this statement lies with the different...
KINETIC GLOBAL MODELING FRAMEWORK In the last few decades, advances in computer architecture and scaling have drastically pushed the boundaries of what can be simulated of known physics. The study of plasma in particular requires the combination of electromagnetics,...
Introduction to the Dynamic Security Assessment System DSA system plays an important role in power system control room for operational decision making and remedial control processes. The computational framework for current practice of DSA system includes two stages,...
Requirements of a successful electrical power service Electric power has become a major portion of energy supply all over the world after industrial revolution. As the major power supply to a wide range of customers, the qualification of power systems operation has a...
Advanced Persistent Threat Organizations are under constant attack no matter how large their companies are. Attackers indiscriminately target organizations as large as Governments to as small as Internet start-ups using a method known as the Advanced Persistent Threat...
internet The Internet is a powerful interconnection of computers, servers, and other peripheral devices. The connection of these devices allows information to be stored, shared, and used faster than at any point in history. As the Internet grows, the types of devices...
Power System Simulation Toolbox (PSST) Power System Simulation Toolbox (PSST) in Python is a collection of functions developed for rapid, fast-iterative design of models for power systems. It provides a wrapper over Pyomo for SCUC/SCED formulations. PSST allows...
