Cyber-physical security of the electricity grid is becoming a top priority in Canada and around the world. Electric energy consumption in Canada has steadily increased and is expected to triple in the next few years, especially with the electrification of the transportation sector. In a smart grid, electric energy consumption should be securely managed by optimizing the operation of the grid resources and loads to ensure minimum impact on the electricity grid and the quality of power delivery. The energy automation and management mainly consist of two phases; monitoring, development of an energy management system and testing it. At Ontario Tech University, the applicant has established a Smart Energy Internet Research Laboratory to investigate and study energy automation and management (A&M) systems in the context of the smart grid. Intelligent Electronic devices and a real-time digital grid simulator in addition to power quality and energy monitoring devices all interconnected with state-of-the-art communications protocols are available at the Smart Energy Internet Research Laboratory at Ontario Tech. Furthermore, an energy automation and management system (A&M) that integrates advanced monitoring systems and advanced knowledge discovery tools is developed to achieve fully automated and resilient grid equipped with self-healing capabilities and operated at high efficiency, reliability and digital grade power quality. Since the main connectivity of the components making the Smart Energy Internet Research Laboratory is through the internet, these components as well as the developed Energy A&M system are prone to cyber-physical attacks. In order to ensure proper operation of the developed Energy A&M system as well as full compliance with industrial standards, this system has to undergo extensive testing, which is an essential part to evaluate its performance in the smart grid working environment. The successful completion of the testing phase of the developed Energy A&M system will have significant economic and environmental benefit to Canada as a result of deploying such a system. The EXata cyber-physical toolbox that is requested in this application represents an essential part for completing the Smart Energy Internet Research Laboratory, which will help testing the performance of the developed energy A&M system and assessing its immunity against cyber-attacks. These facilities will provide the graduate students with an excellent opportunity for training and having hand-on experience in energy management and cyber-security of the smart grid, which is a very needed and challenging area in the electric power industry. Moreover, theses facilities will support interdisciplinary research programs in smart grid, cyber security and artificial intelligence.

电网的网络物理安全已成为加拿大和世界各地的重中之重。加拿大的电能消耗稳定增长，预计在未来几年内将三倍，尤其是随着运输部门的电气化。在智能电网中，应通过优化网格资源和负载的运行来安全地管理电力，以确保对电网的最小影响和电力传递质量。能源自动化和管理主要由两个阶段组成；监视，开发能源管理系统并测试它。在安大略理工大学，申请人在智能电网的背景下建立了一个智能能源互联网研究实验室，以调查和研究能源自动化与管理（A＆M）系统。智能电子设备和实时数字网格模拟器除了电力质量和能源监控设备外，还可以在安大略省技术的Smart Internet研究实验室获得与最先进的通信协议相互联系的所有智能电子设备。此外，开发了整合高级监控系统和高级知识发现工具的能源自动化和管理系统（A＆M），以实现具有自动修复功能的完全自动化和弹性的网格，并以高效率，可靠性和数字等级功率质量运行。由于制造智能能源互联网研究实验室的组件的主要连接是通过互联网，因此这些组件以及开发的能源A＆M系统易于进行网络物理攻击。为了确保开发的能源A＆M系统的正确运行以及完全符合工业标准，该系统必须进行广泛的测试，这是评估其在智能网格工作环境中的性能的重要组成部分。由于部署了这种系统，开发能源A＆M系统的测试阶段的成功完成将对加拿大带来巨大的经济和环境利益。本应用程序中要求的EXATA网络物理工具箱是完成智能能源互联网研究实验室的重要组成部分，这将有助于测试开发的能源A＆M系统的性能并评估其针对网络攻击的免疫力。这些设施将为研究生提供训练的绝佳机会，并在智能电网的能源管理和网络安全方面拥有亲身经验，这是电力行业中非常需要且充满挑战的领域。此外，这些设施将支持智能网格，网络安全和人工智能的跨学科研究计划。
