Cyber Infrastructure of the Smart Grid. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course combines cybersecurity controls with the power system elements needed to meet federal, state, local, and territorial requirements for the resiliency of the smart grid. Beyond the methodologies and approaches for managing a power system with its many diverse components, this course establishes the key linkages to the control framework requirements needed for sustained operation and rapid restoration after maintenance, outage, or other operational transition of major power system sources and loads. The course will progress in an iterative approach from the high-level framework controls to the hands-on building of protection, testing, and monitoring elements for cyber defense, resiliency, and continuity of operation. The course content can be directly applied by students in municipal or larger power companies. Offered by Electrical & Comp. Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
