Resilient Control Architectures and Power Systems Workshop
Highlighting the specific challenges that arise from the growing automation of the power grid.
November 27, 2023 (online) | Hosted by the University of North Dakota
Workshop Objectives
It aims to examine power system failures resulting from: cyber security threats, human error, and complex interdependencies, while also investigating innovative ideas and research to strengthen control system resilience.
- Establish a perspective on the unique challenges of automation in our society.
- Provide insight on how a power control system works and how it can fail - including threats from cyber security, human error and complex interdependencies.
- Provide introduction to promising concepts that the resilient controls community is currently researching to make these control systems more resilient to these threats.
- Provide an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of critical infrastructures and the beginning of skills required to converse in the “languages” of some of those disciplines.
- Encourage projects that engage in the areas of resilient control systems as demonstrated through project papers and presentations.
Contributors
Workshop contributors include Idaho National Laboratory, Idaho State University, University of Idaho and UND's Center for Cyber Security Research.
