Why are wampac systems important?

Recent developments in smart measurement devices coupled with data communication technologies allow for significant improvements in power systems’ reliability, efficiency, and security. These technological advancements make WAMPAC systems of significant practical interest.

What does wampac stand for?

The team framed the initial query as follows: Device that provides data for wide area protection, monitoring and control (WAMPAC) The device might be a digital fault recorder (DFR), a phasor measurement unit (PMU) or a protective relay.

How can a smart grid be secure?

Approaches based on intentional splitting of power systems, as well as on substation area joint defensive protection strategies, are considered as serious candidates for those approaches which will significantly contribute to the secure operation of future smart grids.

What is wampac security?

In terms of WAMPAC or any other smart-grid application, the security sections of this RFC serve as a catalog of proven methods to consider in order to meet the security needs for the application, once these are identified.

Does wampac have cyber security?

One such circumstance is a widespread compromise of WAMPAC data for which there is no reliable method of detecting that a compromise has occurred. Achievement of cyber security for WAMPAC will depend upon a full understanding of such circumstances and their mitigation.

How can wampac standards be harmonised?

Standards developing organizations, such as IEEE and IEC that are involved in the development of WAMPAC standards could use the discussion of end-to-end requirements to further harmonize the standards. Particularly useful would be incorporating or referencing a common and comprehensive set of cybersecurity requirements.
