Micro Synchrophasor-Based Intrusion Detection in Automated Distribution Systems: Towards Critical Infrastructure Security

Abstract

Electric power distribution systems are undergoing many technological changes and concerns are surfacing on possible additional vulnerabilities. Resilient cyber-physical systems (CPSs) in general must leverage state measures and operational models that interlink the physical and the cyber assets that compose them, to assess the global state. In this paper we describe a viable process of abstraction to obtain this holistic system state exploration tool, through the analysis of data from Micro Phasor Measurement Units (μPMUs) combined with the monitoring of Distribution Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (DSCADA) traffic, and using semantics to interpret these data that expresses the specific system physical and operational constraints in both cyber and physical realms.
