BACKGROUND Energy utilities are undergoing structural changes along the recently developed legal framework in the area. The new EU policy framework allows open access to the previously vertically integrated power system. Hence, companies with interest in building generation capacities are allowed to supply power to the grid. Electricity market has been established, with an expected increase in trading capacity as market fully develops and new investors start entering the market. The changes in the operation of the system are making it more important to anticipate possible transformations on the national power system scale, as occurrences in various countries have been observed to show certain patterns such as electricity price spikes, transmission lines congestion, etc. Physical system security cannot be allowed to be compromised as electricity is underlying all other critical infrastructures, and there is strong interdependence between most important critical infrastructures. The system must be operated both in a safe and for society benefit most economical way through the energy market, where data among system operators must be shared while ensuring that only the appropriate market sensitive data can be accessed by marketers. Thus, the restructuring of the energy related utility industry has resulted in the need for varying levels of system security, electricity market information awareness and general ICT security as the component which connects the physical electricity system with the market system. Further, simultaneous introduction of increased attention to the energy efficiency, introduction of micro-scale renewable energy generation, smart buildings, smart metering, smart grid at various levels, plans for the e-mobility (where electric vehicles must be accounted for in the general power system operation research and development), with regard to the both centralized and local control and operation systems relying on next generation SCADA. Regardless of the name for all this recent development of the power systems (next generation, advanced, digital or smart grid) promises, great challenges and importance for the reliability, security are the same. OBJECTIVES The main objectives of the project as defined in the project plan are: • Studying and assessing of the current status of SCADA deployment (emphases on Italy and Croatia); • Assessing priorities in future SCADA testbed architecture; • Proposing a novel architecture for SCADA interaction modeling, based on cooperative agent negotiation, to bridge model with increased reliability and security; • Formally and empirically demonstrate the improvements in security, safety and resilience of this architecture over the ones commonly used; • Developing a common understanding of industrial needs and requirements regarding the security of control systems and the related standardization, accompanied by a raising awareness programme reaching all end-users; • Identifying and disseminating best practice, possibly in a joint endeavor between manufacturers and end users, resulting in a joint capability and technology taxonomy of security solutions; • Development and deployment a SCADA testbed platform for simulation and analysis of emergent phenomena in power systems.
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner
Majority of projects activities are located in Croatia. Project funding is shared from Croatian side by 85% of total alocated from NATO SfP framework.
