Modern power grids are dependent on communication systems for data collection, visualization, and control. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) is commonly used in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems in power systems to allow control system software and hardware to communicate. To study the dependencies between communication network security, power system data collection, and industrial hardware, it is important to enable communication capabilities with real-time power system simulation. In this paper, we present the integration of new functionality of a power systems dynamic simulation package into our cyber-physical power system testbed that supports real-time power system data transfer using DNP3, demonstrated with an industrial real-time automation controller (RTAC). The usage and configuration of DNP3 with real-world equipment in to achieve power system monitoring and control of a large-scale synthetic electric grid via this DNP3 communication is presented. Then, an exemplar of DNP3 data collection and control is achieved in software and hardware using the 2000-bus Texas synthetic grid.

通过网络物理测试台中的DNP3通过硬件设备进行实时电力系统仿真

现代电网依赖于通信系统进行数据收集，可视化和控制。分布式网络协议3（DNP3）通常用于电力系统的监督控制和数据采集（SCADA）系统中，以允许控制系统软件和硬件进行通信。为了研究通信网络安全性，电力系统数据收集和工业硬件之间的依赖性，重要的是通过实时电力系统仿真来启用通信功能。在本文中，我们将电力系统动态仿真程序包的新功能集成到我们的网络物理电力系统测试平台中，该平台支持使用DNP3进行实时电力系统数据传输，并通过工业实时自动化控制器（RTAC）进行了演示。介绍了通过实际设备使用DNP3并通过DNP3通信实现大型合成电网的电力系统监视和控制的配置。然后，使用2000总线的Texas合成网格在软件和硬件中实现DNP3数据收集和控制的示例。
