Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), e.g., protective relays, have a vital role for protecting power systems and substations. In modern power systems, the performance of protection schemes by IEDs can be affected by cyber-physical, communication and cybersecurity operations and thus, a holistic modeling approach is required where all the domains are properly considered. However, commercial protective relays used in the field are mainly modeled using closed-source software. Therefore, this work proposes an integrated, realistic, and flexible model of an overcurrent protective relay compatible with IEC 61850 communication standard. This open-source model integrates the behavioural interactions between the protective relays and their physical, communication and cybersecurity operations in a digital substation. A model of transmission substation is developed in MATLAB/Simulink ® for validation purposes and the effect of communication operations and cybersecurity threats on the relay's physical operations is investigated according to different case studies and attack scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
