Resilient Controls and Instrumentation Systems

Solutions for today’s energy security needs, vision for tomorrow’s next generation designs.

Resilient Control & Instrumentation Systems (ReCIS) research is centered on developing components, programs, systems, and individuals for any application that requires monitoring, control, and human interaction. External peer review and advisory committees made up of academic, R&D, and customer organizations provide independent and ongoing review of the strategy.

Collaborations & Projects:

Adaptive and Agile Resilience Control Architectures

The basis of resilient threat-resilient information networks requires consideration of all threats and measures by which we determine proper operation. These measures, which can be categorized as cyber and physical security, process efficiency and stability, and process compliance, provided the operating require­ments that are monitored for situational awareness and definition of the power grid or process state. Traditional concepts of redundancy, diversity, and defense in depth that were once only considered for reliability can be broadened for application to all measures. New concepts that research the human system responses, both benevolent operator and malicious actor interactions, as well as the complex interdependencies of distributed information networks require consideration. The move from reactive to proactive control of plants and mechanisms by which the evaluation and verification of designs is considered all the way from design through implementation stages of resilient information networks is enabled by this paradigm shift.

Infrastructure Trustworthiness Assessment & Proactive Control

Untrustworthy data can lead to poor automated system control, difficulty in decision making, and frustrating end-user experiences as a minimum, but with nation state attacks, cascading outages and wide scale loss of infrastructures. This data is very often very large in scale and comes from heterogeneous sources. Moreover, information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) operators who now find themselves responsible for cybersecurity come from a variety of backgrounds, differing decision support requirements, and knowledge capabilities. To effectively abstract the complexity of cybersecurity and simultaneously address the variety of roles, knowledge, and need, a design is needed that performs much of the required analysis for the user and presents only relevant information in a consistent way.

Intelligent Cyber Detection & Feedback Mechanisms

Traditional protections offered by intrusion detection devices are dependent on known signatures. Any “lockdown” of these devices can lead to performance effects on the automation system, as well as the production of many false positives for network security engineers to evaluate. The cyber challenge is to provide a resilient cyber feedback system that can be quickly implemented and provide diverse techniques for cyber recognition that can be analyzed based on individual networks. This system must be lightweight in its performance requirements and proactive in design, using analytics to advance modification of the automation network protections faster than the attacker can respond

Role-based, Cyber-Physical State and Context Awareness

Dynamic visualizations change how the data is represented in real-time which allows users to quickly understand where changes in the system are happening, the priorities of response, the root cyber or physical cause and potential for larger, potentially cascading failures. Dynamic data visualization allows for visual representations of data that can be altered as the represented data changes. This can allow for quick and intuitive understanding of changes in the system as size, color, length, etc., is altered devices can be connected to and communicate with each other over a network. This can allow for an efficient peer-to-peer resource sharing system to be implemented across the system. Resource sharing adds an additional layer to visualization by allowing local visual implementations to change dynamically based on global data as well.

Capabilities: 

Human System Simulation Laboratory (HSSL)

H​uman performance is the central theme in the research done in the HSSL. INL human factors researchers have extensive knowledge and experience of human performance in nuclear power operations and apply a wide range of human factors principles, methods and tools in solving practical and emerging problems in the energy sector. A large part of the HSSL is devoted to the study of human performance in a near-realistic operational context.

Systems Integration Laboratory

A combination of connected assets that can be reconfigured to research specific topics related to technology grid-integration and hybridization. The constituents of SIL include several lab environments operated to assess several technology-specific questions. A few of the assets include low and high-power electric vehicle service equipment, a microgrid with multiple generation and electrical storage assets, high-temperature electrolyzers, and thermal loops capable of emulating the heat profiles from thermal power plants. These technologies are integrated through digital real-time simulators and grid emulators to enable hardware testing during emulated normal and off-normal grid conditions.

Resilient Control Systems Laboratory

The resilient control systems (RCS) hardware-in-the-loop laboratory at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) hosts inter-organizational cognitive, cyber-physical systems research area pioneered by INL, which includes technologies sponsored through Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (DOD), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) programs. The test bed provides a real world environment, segmented by project, to demonstrate the measurable benefit achieved with these new technologies over current state-of-the-art. Test procedures validate a quantitative means to demonstrate the value proposition for prospective customers. The test bed includes high fidelity emulators, in addition to numerous control system hardware and software implementations, to provide bench to lab scale piloting before applying to full scale infrastructure applications.
