brief the SCADA system in GASCO which is one of the biggest MIS in Egypt as it responsible for control natural gas all over Egypt. GASCO (Egyptian natural gas company), is the greatest and the only company in Egypt responsible for transmition of natural gas all over Egypt starting from natural gas wells in seas or deserts and finally to the huge customers (i.e electrical power station, cement and steel factories) SCADA system A SCADA (or supervisory control and data acquisition) system means a
transmission and distribution, generation, and power system as a whole. B. Smart grids have been used in different ways and there is different type of smart grid devices that has helped renew resources. Smart Energy Resources Smart energy resources change the electric power system from conventional fossil-based energy systems to the renewable energy systems [4]. By using renewable generation, carbon dioxide emissions decrease from replacing systems powered by fossil fuels. Also increases the economic
SCADA Systems Security Arjun Venkatraman arjun.dhanush@gmail.com 1. Abstract The purpose of this paper is to define what SCADA systems are and their application in modern industry and infrastructure, to elucidate the reasons for rising concern over the security of these systems, to analyze the fundamental vulnerabilities and to put forth recommendations for the implementation of security in these systems. 2. Introduction: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems are basically Process
Framework for a GSMSmart Energy Management Meter System for Effective Measurement, Management and Communication of Power and its Data in a Developing Grid Abstract Energy measurement and management are amongst the major grid challenges and research efforts have been geared towards addressing them. The emergence of smart meters in consonance with the smart grid concept is as a result of these efforts. This paper explores the integration of Energy Management and Control System (EMCS) technologies into
Infrastructure (CI) sectors that manage the security, management and distribution of imperative resources for the survival of the country. Examples of these critical infrastructure sectors are water and sanitation, energy and utilities, transportation and Information Technology Communications among others. Critical Information Infrastructures (CII) systems are used for controlling and managing the respective CI. The critical information infrastructure systems worldwide are evolving from traditionally being
and also selectively extracted butanol can increase butanol productivity and production in acetone butanol fermentation (Ishizaki et al., 1999). With nowadays increasing in energy require globally, especially for transportation industry, people are highly demanded for more sustainable energy resources. Traditionally, the energy resource for transportation has been petroleum based for over more than hundred years ago; however, it is not renewable and at certain times in the future, it is may be not
Cyber warfare One of the first cyber-attacks was the Morris worm in the year 1988. It had affected the world cyber infrastructure. This worm utilized the weak areas of UNIX system Noun1. This worm has replicated adversely and slowed down the computers in all of the US and made them unusable. Cyber warfare has become a societal issue now. Though the roots of cyber warfare aimed at military areas primarily, it extended its effects to non-military areas too. The information infrastructure based companies
and storage. Power production can come from multitude of sources with different types of power plant facilities each with some sort of unique need; these sources include coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, water also known as hydroelectric, solar, geothermal and biomass (U.S. Energy Information Administration). These energy sources are broken down into one of two categories, renewable or nonrenewable. Nonrenewable energy sources are sources, such as fossil fuels like coal, which are extracted
control systems that operate equipment, such as centrifuges. And finally, it compromised the programmable logic controllers. The worm’s creators could therefore spy on the industrial systems and even cause the fast-spinning centrifuges to tear themselves apart, unknown to the engineers at the plant. In order for the original Stuxnet worm to work correctly it has to be introduced into a system, usually via an infected USB thumb drive/flash drive. Once the USB thumb drive is inserted into a system, it
serious technological and economic constraints on their implementation. This paper is an exclusive study on the status, challenges, and possible solution related to the technological aspects from India perspective. Since the smart meter is an integral component in the smart micro grid implementation, the technological issue and challenges are particularly discussed in this paper. An actual implementation of smart meter for Indian domestic consumers in laboratory environment
