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.

IEEE Richland Section Power and Energy Society Chapter Seminar:
Smart Grid: Transforming the Electric System
Date: Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
Time: 5:30 – 7:00 pm (Pizza and soft drinks will be provided.)
Location: WSU Tri-Cities Campus West Building 248
Directions: http://www.tricity.wsu.edu/student-affairs/visit.htm
Presenter: Steve Widergren, Staff Engineer, Energy Technology Development Group in PNNL, Richland, WA
Description - The productivity gains and new services from the use of information networks surround our life experiences. Businesses and facilities continue to enhance their internal operation and push toward more seamless interactions with their customers and other organizations. The shift that makes this possible is changing the shape of our businesses and personal lives, and it offers a transformation in the way we create, deliver, consume, and manage electricity. Smart Grid is a vision for a transformation of the electric system. This talk discusses smart grid concepts and capabilities. It describes the status of smart grid deployments and highlights the importance of interoperability to flexibly connect electricity assets from wind generators to electric vehicles to buildings and clothes dryers, to enable effective coordination of electricity.
Biography – Mr. Steve Widergren contributes to new solutions for reliable operation of electric power systems. Common throughout his career is the application of information technology to power engineering problems including, simulation, control, and system integration. He is a principal engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and on assignment to the US Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability as Smart Grid Interoperability and Standards Coordinator. He was recently Administrator for the GridWise Architecture Council – a group formed to enable interoperability of automated systems related to the electric system. Prior to joining the Laboratory, he engineered and managed energy management systems products for electric power operations and supported power system computer applications in both supplier and utilities sectors. Application areas include information modeling, SCADA systems, and power system reliability assessment tools. Mr. Widergren received his BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He is actively involved in the IEEE Power Engineering Society and participates in standards efforts that bridge power engineering with information technology.

PES Seminar: Monitoring and Measuring Market Power in Electricity Market |
|
|
|
|
Date: Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Time: 5:30 – 7:00 pm (Pizza and soft drinks will be provided.)
Location: WSU Tri-Cities Campus West Building 248
Directions: http://www.tricity.wsu.edu/student-affairs/visit.htm
Presenter: Bhujanga B. Chakrabarti, Transpower New Zealand Ltd. Dr Chakrabarti is currently visiting PNNL, Richland, WA, USA, June-September 09.
Abstract - The New Zealand electricity market has a small number of generators with apparently dominant market shares. The ability of market participants to exercise market power in the wholesale market is questioned at any time wholesale electricity spot prices are perceived to rise beyond the perceived cost of production for electricity.
The purpose of this talk is to i) Briefly review international experience of market power issues; ii) Examine opportunities for exercising market power in the New Zealand wholesale market environment; iii) Describe some methods available for measuring market power and review their characteristics; iv) Form an opinion as to whether these tools for measuring Market power are appropriate to the New Zealand Wholesale Electricity Market. Where not appropriate, to outline the characteristics of suitable measures.
Biography - Bhujanga B Chakrabarti has been working with Network Planning and System Operations Group in Transpower New Zealand Limited since 1994. He obtained his BEE (Honors) degree from Jadavpur University, India in 1975, MS from Penn State and Northern Illinois University, MEE and Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration from University of Newcastle, Australia and Ph.D. from University of Canterbury, New Zealand in 2004. He has been working for more than 30 years in power system analysis, control, planning, and pricing areas in India and New Zealand. He also teaches graduate students in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Auckland as a guest lecturer. Dr Chakrabarti is a Senior Member of IEEE and associated with activities in CIGRE, and a reviewer of IEEE Power Systems Journal, IJPES and IET (previous IEE) Journals.
