“…To simulate the power system operations of our proposed architecture (Figure 2), a high-performance real-time digital simulator known as OP5600 (OP5600 is a high performance equipment for real-time simulations of physical systems for research and industry applications. Details can be found at https://www.opal-rt.com/simulator-platform-op5600/ (accessed on 6 January 2021) is used at the Victoria University Zone Substation (VUZS) laboratory [38,39]. Moreover, the OP5600 chassis supports the IEC 61850 communication standard.…”

IEC 61850 is one of the most prominent communication standards adopted by the smart grid community due to its high scalability, multi-vendor interoperability, and support for several input/output devices. Generic Object-Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE), which is a widely used communication protocol defined in IEC 61850, provides reliable and fast transmission of events for the electrical substation system. This paper investigates the security vulnerabilities of this protocol and analyzes the potential impact on the smart grid by rigorously analyzing the security of the GOOSE protocol using an automated process and identifying vulnerabilities in the context of smart grid communication. The vulnerabilities are tested using a real-time simulation and industry standard hardware-in-the-loop emulation. An in-depth experimental analysis is performed to demonstrate and verify the security weakness of the GOOSE publish-subscribe protocol towards the substation protection within the smart grid setup. It is observed that an adversary who might have familiarity with the substation network architecture can create falsified attack scenarios that can affect the physical operation of the power system. Extensive experiments using the real-time testbed validate the theoretical analysis, and the obtained experimental results prove that the GOOSE-based IEC 61850 compliant substation system is vulnerable to attacks from malicious intruders.

“…The protection architecture agents can be broken into the relay agent, the DER agent and the equipment agent. These agents would be linked together with a communication infrastructure [174][175][176][177]180,181]. Overall, more adaptive and intelligent techniques of protection coordination need to be developed to cope with the future dynamic nature of the smart grid with increased PV penetration.…”

Integration of high volume (high penetration) of photovoltaic (PV) generation with power grids consequently leads to some technical challenges that are mainly due to the intermittent nature of solar energy, the volume of data involved in the smart grid architecture, and the impact power electronic-based smart inverters. These challenges include reverse power flow, voltage fluctuations, power quality issues, dynamic stability, big data challenges and others. This paper investigates the existing challenges with the current level of PV penetration and looks into the challenges with high PV penetration in future scenarios such as smart cities, transactive energy, proliferation of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), possible eclipse events, big data issues and environmental impacts. Within the context of these future scenarios, this paper reviewed the existing solutions and provides insights to new and future solutions that could be explored to ultimately address these issues and improve the smart grid's security, reliability and resiliency.
