Cluster Overview

• Cluster focuses on the distribution system and the end load
• Adding more renewable, but less

controllable generation, will require more participation by the electric load – Distributed generation may be embedded in “demand” – Demand could drastically change with new loads – New loads can have unexpected societal impacts

• New distribution technologies promise better reliability

– Cyber security of distributed devices is a growing concern

Cluster Problem Areas

• Focus on issues associated with making the distribution

system and load more known and/or controllable

• Directly addresses many of the core issues associated with

the “smart grid” – Traditionally, distribution and load have been viewed as relatively passive – Key smart grid premise is to make customers participants, providing information to help them optimize their electricity usage – Making the distribution and demand more “active” adds cyber security issues

Cluster Approach

• Objective of the cluster is to better determine and solve the

cyber security issues related to making for a more active distribution system and demand

• Distribution Network Thread

– Growing number of cyber enabled distribution system devices makes password management problematic

• Active Demand Management Thread

– As the load becomes more active, and potentially mobile, new opportunities and challenges are emerging

Activity Highlights

• Password Changing Protocol
• Large number of distributed devices make

password management difficult; activity is investigating the use of authenticated hand held devices that then communicate securely to the pole mounted devices

• Development of the Information Layer for

the V2G Framework Implementation

• Loss of fuel tax revenue is a key concern with a transition

to electric vehicles (EVs); looking at security aspects of mileage-based tax collection using GPS systems

| 7

Activity Highlights

• Trustworthy Framework for Mobile Smart Meters
• Idea is meter is on EV with reporting to utility of amount

charged, and utility providing the EV with pricing options; work is progressing on development of a basic obstacle- aware routing protocol

• Control of distributed reactive resources
• Distributed devices like EVs and PVs

can provide reactive power; algorithms needed to determine the amount of information necessary to determine the appropriate power factor

| 8

Cluster Impact

• Demonstration of the password changing framework

between a laptop and an android phone to test performance

• Specification of a basic reliable

routing protocol titled Obstacle- Aware Cyber-Physical Routing for Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication

• Assessment of past mileage-based data usage projects
• Development of a localized control scheme to achieve a

target household power factor using smart meters and a home monitoring and control system

| 9

Planned Research for Coming Year

• Explore camera based authentication protocols.
• Continue the assessment of previous EV studies, and

develop a set of key requirements for the architecture and the data collection/processing aspects

• Study the issues of reliable and secure communication and

routing over heterogeneous networks (WiFi/cellular/ZigBee)

• Move towards validation on distributed reactive resource

control algorithms on the UIUC distribution network
