HIL Testing: Power System Cybersecurity

Learn about real-time simulation from the safety of your home!

What to Expect

Join us for a free webinar on hardware-in-the-loop testing for prevention and survival of cyber-physical attacks on the power system. Real-time simulators can be a crucial component of cybersecurity testbeds, in which the simulated power system is connected to real protection, control, and measurement equipment and subjected to cyber attacks. This provides a realistic, flexible, and contained environment for the validation of energy system security technologies.

  • Get a quick overview of the relevance and main principles of power system cybersecurity
  • Take a more detailed look at the RTDS Simulator’s facilities for cyber event simulation
  • Watch a live demo in which the RTDS Simulator is connected to a third-party communication network simulator and the simulation is subjected to cyber incidents
 
Note: This webinar does not include a detailed introduction to electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation or real-time operation. To learn more about these topics, listeners should watch this short video before joining.
