Topic: ANS-EWS and IEEE Richland Section Joint November 17, 2009 Meeting features a recent control system upgrade to the Columbia Generating Station, a “Tricon Turbomachinery Control System for Integrated Turbine Protection and Reactor Pressure Control”. The ANS-EWS and IEEE Richland Section features Graydon Strong, Electrical/I&C Design Supervisor at the Energy Northwest. Mr. Strong will present the new digital control system which replaces older technology controls resulting in significant improvements in reliability for the 1150 Megawatt Boiling Water Reactor. Invensys Process Systems completed the fast-track controls upgrade with support from Sargent & Lundy. In approximately 10 months the system was installed in the simulator to support two cycles of operator training and six months later was operating with precision. The Tricon TMR system is also utilized for an all new turbine trip digital control scheme, including lube oil, thrust, vacuum and overspeed. The Tricon systems bring together more than 600 critical monitoring and control system I/O points from the turbine and generator. This must be quite an upgrade from the technology is replaces. Could it be that the original design precedes Mr. Strong? Where: Clarion Hotel, 1515 George Washington Way, Richland WA When: Tuesday, November 17, 2009

PNNL and IEEE PES Richland Chapter joint seminar: |
Topic: Increasing Security and Protection of SCADA Systems through Infrastructure Resilience
Date: Friday, November 13
Time: 11:00a to 12:00p
Location: PNNL EMSL/1077
Directions: http://picturethis.pnl.gov/picturet.nsf/by+id/AMER-67MSF8
Presenter: Professors Salvatore D’Antonio and Luigi Romano
Department for Technology of the University of Naples "Parthenope" in Italy
Description - Systems that manage and control infrastructures over large geographically distributed areas are typically referred to as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The talk aims at presenting the approach we have taken in the INSPIRE (INcreasing Security and Protection through Infrastructure REsilience) project to improve the protection of critical information infrastructures. The core idea of the INSPIRE project is to protect Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIs) by appropriately configuring, managing, and securing the communication network infrastructure which interconnects SCADA systems, the key building blocks of CIIs. In order to do so, a self-reconfigurable architecture has been designed, which provides mechanisms for detecting, diagnosing, and treating faults and attacks which might compromise the correct operation of a Critical Infrastructure.
Biography - Prof. Salvatore D'Antonio is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department for Technology of the University of Naples "Parthenope", in Italy. His current research interests include network monitoring and management, intrusion detection systems, and information system security. He is currently Technical Coordinator of the INTERSECTION project and Project Coordinator of the INSPIRE project.
Prof. Luigi Romano is currently an Associate Professor at the Department for Technology of the University of Naples "Parthenope", in Italy. He was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer and Systems Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II from 2000 to 2005. His general research area is system dependability and security.
