Power Grid

ADSC researchers have developed a tool, Cyber Security Argument Graph Evaluation (CyberSAGE), that allows security analysts to make practical and informed decisions about the security of their critical infrastructure system, such as a smart power grid.

Through two new projects funded by the Energy Market Authority of Singapore, researchers at the Advanced Digital Sciences Center are tackling real-world issues to improve the cyber security and resiliency of power plants and the smart grid.

Analyzing data in real time is often a struggle for researchers. To address those challenges, a team at the Advanced Digital Science Center, a University of Illinois research center in Singapore, has built a platform that provides an easy solution for analyzing text, video, audio and other types of data quickly and accurately.

ADSC Professor William H. Sanders has received the 2016 IEEE Technical Field Award, Innovation in Societal Infrastructure, for his revolutionary work concerning the cybersecurity of the power grid. The award recognizes Sanders’ work as some of the most significant in his field.

The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to lead a new five-year, $28.1USD million initiative that will develop cyber resilient energy delivery systems for the electric power and oil & gas industries.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign today announced that it will lead a new center to improve the resiliency of critical infrastructure, which includes the power grid, telecommunications networks and transportation systems.
