An Active Security Defense Strategy For Wind Farm Based On Automated Decision

With the development of smart grid, information and energy integrate deeply. For remote monitoring and cluster management, SCADA system of wind farm should be connected to Internet. However, communication security and operation risk put forward a challenge to data network of the wind farm. To address this problem, an active security defense strategy combined whitelist and security situation assessment is proposed. Firstly, the whitelist is designed by analyzing the legitimate packet of Modbus on communication of SCADA servers and PLCs. Then Knowledge Automation is applied to establish the Decision Requirements Diagram (DRD) for wind farm security. The D-S evidence theory is adopted to assess operation situation of wind farm and it together with whitelist offer the security decision for wind turbine. This strategy helps to eliminate the wind farm owners' security concerns of data networking, and improves the integrity of the cyber security defense for wind farm.
