“…In addition to being Smart Grids oriented, our work is also a contribution to the field of architectural description languages (ADLs). In that sense, the works that come closest to ours are [10] and [11]. The latter introduces PSAL, a domain-specific language to build SGAM-based solutions.…”

Energy Distribution Grids are considered critical infrastructure, hence the Distribution System Operators (DSOs) have developed sophisticated engineering practices to improve their resilience. Over the last years, due to the "Smart Grid" evolution, this infrastructure has become a distributed system where prosumers (the consumers who produce and share surplus energy through the grid) can plug in distributed energy resources (DERs) and manage a bi-directional flow of data and power enabled by an advanced IT and control infrastructure. This introduces new challenges, as the prosumers possess neither the skills nor the knowledge to assess the risk or secure the environment from cyber-threats. We propose a simple and usable approach based on the Reference Model of Information Assurance & Security (RMIAS), to support the prosumers in the selection of cybesecurity measures. The purpose is to reduce the risk of being directly targeted and to establish collective responsibility among prosumers as grid gatekeepers. The framework moves from a simple risk analysis based on security goals to providing guidelines for the users for adoption of adequate security countermeasures. One of the greatest advantages of the approach is that it does not constrain the user to a specific threat model.

This paper proposes a component-oriented modeling method for power system simulation, which optimizes the modeling process of the FPGA-based real-time digital simulator (FRTDS) to enhance its computational efficiency. In this paper, a component modeling method for various types of elements in the power system is presented, which makes the modeling process in FRTDS more user-friendly and highly scalable. By applying the concepts of combination and reconstruction of components to electrical components, the component-oriented modeling method becomes better suited for combined elements with fixed connection modes and elements that require online model replacement in the power system. Utilizing the characteristics of component-oriented modeling, the variable declaration structure and node elimination strategy in the simulation script are optimized, enabling the simulation script to fit better with the hardware structure of FRTDS. Additionally, a substation is simulated in FRTDS with a simulation step size of 50 µs, thus verifying the correctness of the component-oriented modeling method and its ability to improve the computational power of FRTDS.
