An Analysis of Iec 62351 Implementations For Securing Iec 60870-5-104 Communication

With the growing digitalisation and uptake of renewable energy sources, the power system has become increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks. One of the mechanisms, used to prevent cyber attacks, is securing communication protocols used for monitoring and control of the digitalised power system assets. This paper presents the analysis of the implementation of IEC 62351 standard for securing IEC 60870-5-104 protocol which is widely used for remote control in power systems.
