  1. Smart Grid:Overview of Relevant EMC/Electromagnetic Environment, Spectrum, and Security Issues and Standards Development Activities Andrew L. Drozd, iNCE & IEEE Fellow EMC Society Standards Development Committee Chair ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC President/CEO Smart Grid EMC Workshop Santa Clara, CA 27 May 2010

  2. Outline This presentation will cover the key aspects of the Smart Grid "systems of systems" concept design, specifically: Relevant EMC/electromagnetic (EM) environments for Smart Grid operation Efforts by the IEEE EMC Society and its Standards Development Committee (SDCom) in cooperation with the IEEE P2030 Working Group and in collaboration with industry to define the scope and application of standards to address integrated EM effects Illustrations of spectrum sensing and network (cyber) security strategies and potential risks that must be addressed early on in the design cycle. Goal: raise awareness of the key EM environment issues and potential impacts in support of an international rollout of the Smart Grid system.

  3. Unique Challenges Smart Grid: A confluence of power and energy, communications, IT, EMC, reliability and cyber security technologies. Two things make electricity unique and a challenge for Smart Grid: Lack of flow control (Grid Management and control transformation is needed – i.e., communications!) Electricity storage requirements (static or dynamic storage and load optimization/power electronics – efficiency!) Change either of these and the grid delivery system will be transformed! NIST specifications Prioritization and application IEEE P2030 Working Group Development of guidelines for future Smart Grid technologies and interoperability.

  5. Grid Modernization A smart grid has the following characteristics: Self-healing (fault tolerant) Active participation by consumers in demand response Operates resiliently against physical / cyber attack High power quality Accommodates all generation and storage options Enables new applications Operates efficiently. The most important aspect of the modern grid: Seamlessly integrate many types of generation and storage systems with a simplified interconnection process.

  6. Grid Modernization Today’s Electricity … Tomorrow’s Choices … Power park e - Fuel Cell Hydrogen Storage Wind Farms Remote Loads Industrial DG Fuel Cell Rooftop Photovoltaics SMES e - Smart Substation Load as a resource Combined Heat and Power

  7. Multi-Phase Program NIST developed a three-phase plan to accelerate the identification of standards and the establishment of testing & certification procedures. In Phase 1 establish a high-level reference model for the Smart Grid: Nearly 80 existing standards identified to support Smart Grid development 14 high-priority gaps identified, including cyber security Documented action plans with aggressive timelines by which designated Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) are tasked to fill these gaps. More than 20 EMC-related standards identified (TF-3 External Standards Committee)

  8. Smart Grid Principle Smart Grid technologies better identify and respond to man-made or natural disruptions: Real-time information enables grid operators to isolate affected areas and redirect power flows around damaged facilities. One of the most important issues is resistance to attack Achieved through “smart monitoring” of power grids The basis of control and management of smart grids is to avoid or mitigate the system-wide disruptions like blackouts. The project is bringing together and attempting to harmonize a number of disparate engineering disciplines, namely: The markets of power and energy distribution Radio frequency (RF) communications Information technology (IT) Cyber security Reliability Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Spectrum management.

  10. NIST Framework *Baseline standards identified – along with consideration of extensions and gaps (e.g., IEEE 1547 Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems) and IEEE P2030 Smart Grid interoperability standards development identified in NIST report.

  11. Cognitive Sensors/ Networks • Spectrum Sensing: Detection of white-spaces • Multi-dimensional (beyond frequency) • Spectrum Management: • Capturing the best available spectrum to meet user requirements • Providing fair scheduling among coexisting CRs. • Spectrum Mobility: Maintaining smooth handoffs while transitioning from one TH cell to another.

  12. Distributed Spectrum Sensing • Spectrum Sensing, i.e., detect the spectrum holes: • Hidden Terminal Problem: What if the primary user’s signal deteriorates at the secondary receiver’s end? • Solution: Collaborative (or) Distributed Spectrum Sensing • Incorporating spatial diversity to mitigate hidden-terminal effects. • Distributed Detection/Estimation/Classification of primary users’ transmissions and their parameters.

  13. Cognitive Sensor Security Issues in Distributed Networks PHY Layer Software Control Implementation provides flexibility in the security design (spectrum-mutability) based on intrusion detection schemes. FCC: Design in such a way so that the primary user’s network does not have to make major changes in their designs.

  14. Security Threats Focus on Spectrum Sensing… 1. Byzantine Attacks – Spectrum Sensing Data Falsifiers 2. Primary User Emulation Attacks (PUEAs) • False local data from some malicious sensors (Byzantines) causing the fusion center (FC) to make a wrong decision • An imposter who sends signals that have same features as that of a primary user. • Causes the sensor to make wrong spectrum sensing decision

Jamming • Eavesdropper present in the channel • A jammer trying to degrade one or more communication links. • More interesting problem is when jammer also eavesdrops to enhance its attack.

  16. Need for Standards Priorities for Standardization NIST is focusing on standards needed to address the priorities identified in the FERC Policy Statement plus four additional utility stakeholder items: Demand Response and Consumer Energy Efficiency Wide Area Situational Awareness Electric Storage Electric Transportation Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Distribution Grid Management Cyber Security Network Communications IEEE P2030 Smart Grid Development Guidelines meant to address these stakeholder requirements (keyword: interoperability).

  17. Interoperability Standards (EMC) NIST Framework & Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 1.0 (D)

  18. Additional Requirements Resist attack to man-made or natural disruptions Real-time information enables grid operators to isolate affected areas and redirect power flows around damaged facilities. Smart monitoring of power grids to avoid or mitigate the system-wide disruptions like blackouts. Traditional monitoring is based on weighted least square (WLS) which is very weak and prone to fail when gross errors (including topology errors, measurement errors or parameter errors) are present. New technology of state monitor is needed to achieve the goals of the smart grids. Cyber attack Protect industrial supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and secure their interfaces to the power grid. High-quality power Assuring more stable power provided by smart grid technologies will reduce downtime and prevent such high losses.

  19. EMC for Smart Grid EMC is an important factor for consideration in standards relating to the Smart Grid, including the work on IEEE P2030. For the Smart Grid to function properly and coexist with other electrical and electronic systems, it must be designed with due consideration for electromagnetic emissions from the grid and for immunity to various electromagnetic phenomena near or from the grid. EMC must be addressed effectively if the Smart Grid is to achieve its potential and provide its benefits when deployed. Haddam Neck, CT 1997Halon gas release caused by a camera flash.

  20. Interoperability Means EMC The situation: IEEE – EMC Society believes that for the Smart Grid to achieve its potential it must be reliable, secure and fault-tolerant. If the Smart Grid is less reliable, less secure or less resistant to faults than the existing grid, is it ready for deployment? EMC is the ability of equipment to withstand its EM environment while not causing disturbances. These EM disturbances from or to the power grid have caused degradation, outages, shutdowns and system failures. EMC is required for grid components / controls to operate or interoperate reliably. Southern Illinois 9/25/01Relaying shutdown caused by a radio.

  21. Broad Categories of EMC Events • Common events (ESD, fast transients, power line disturbances) • RF Interference from various emitters/transmitters • Coexistence of various wireless devices • High-level EM disturbances • Naturally-occurring lightning surges or geomagnetic storms • Intentional EMI (terrorist acts) or High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) Smart Grid should be immune to these events, or if that immunity fails, fault-tolerant so failures don’t lead to system disruption. Signals should not interfere with others. (control of emissions). Indian Point, New York 3/23/08Cooling shutdown caused by a camera.

  22. Commonly Occurring EMC Events • Unintended emissions can cause harmful interference. • Limits on emissions are critical for interoperability. • Emissions limits & methods exist and should be used. • Immunity to EM phenomena must be demonstrated. • Variety of environments: • Information Technology Equipment to IEC/CISPR 24 • Substation equipment to IEC 60255-26, 61000-6-5, IEEE 1613 • Wireless devices to various IEEE / IEC Standards. • Inadequate immunity to interference causes failures.

  23. Commonly Occurring EMC Events • EM phenomena that can cause upset: • Electrostatic discharge (from humans or furniture) • Electrical Fast Transients (from switching operations) • Lightning strike (surge, both unipolar and oscillatory) • Radiated RF energy • Conducted RF energy • Power-frequency magnetic fields • Dips & Interruptions. • Robustness must be demonstrated like never before. • Field failures indicate need for immunity test criteria.

  24. Wireless Transmitter EMI • Wireless transmitters induce RF currents. • May be fixed in frequency, power & location. • May be mobile in all three relative to the grid. • Power levels range from 5W to 1500W. • Various modulation schemes used. • Environment simulated by testing variables: • Frequency range • Power levels • Modulation • Criteria for Acceptance.

  25. Coexistence with Wireless Devices • Co-related issue arising from use of wireless devices. • Wireless devices can cause and receive interference. • Coexistence with other devices & incumbents needed. • Interoperability won’t happen unless this is addressed. • EMC planning, analysis & research prevents failures.

  26. High-Level EM Disturbances HEMP Geomagnetic Storms IEMI

  27. EMC Concerns • The EM phenomena identified here causes problems: • Momentary, self-correcting malfunctions • Localized network failure • Large-scale interruptions. • Naturally generated, grid-caused & man-made. • Unintentionally or intentionally generated interference. • Results are the same: • Grid doesn’t function as intended • Grid can’t interoperate if it can’t stay operating. • EMC Standards need to be referenced in P2030.
