Facility for Energy Security and Resilience Research

This project aims to build a Smart Grid Security and Resilience (SGSR) Facility, to investigate new and emerging security threats in industrial control systems. This facility should provide a rich and unique characterisation capability of industrial control systems operated within electricity grids. This project expects to generate new innovative and interdisciplinary knowledge across the fields of control, security, and power systems. Outcomes include new methods for the secure operation of industrial control systems and approaches to counteract grid-based cyber threats. This project should provide significant benefits for national security, supporting research to reduce the risk of disruptive power outages.
