    Abstract: Disclosed is a control system for a water network. The control system includes a plurality of remotely-located monitoring and or monitoring and automatic control stations each including an automation controller for local control and automation, and each in communication via a dual-ring communication topology for system or wide-area control. The dual-ring facilitates redundant peer-to-peer data exchange to provide upstream and downstream water flow and water quality information. Systems described herein may calculate flow differential based on water flow data from each of the monitoring stations, and control flow based on the calculated flow differential.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for exchanging messages between network devices and intelligent electronic devices of the electric power generation and delivery system are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, a method performed by a network device for managing the exchange of messages between a first intelligent electronic device (IED) and a second IED included in an electrical power generation and delivery system may include receiving one or more messages configured according to a first communication protocol from the first IED. Based on information regarding one or more communication capabilities of the second IED, a second communication protocol may be determined. The message be reconfigured according to the second communication protocol to generate at least one reconfigured message. The reconfigured message may then be transmitted to the second IED.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for managing communication between devices in an electric power generation and delivery system. In certain embodiments, a method for managing communication messages performed by a network device included in an electric power generation and delivery system may include receiving a message including an identifier and data state information via a communications interface. A determination may be made that that the message represents a data state change associated with the identifier. The message may be stored in a message buffer associated with the identifier. Finally, the stored message may be transmitted from the message buffer to an intelligent electronic device.

    Abstract: Mitigation of gratuitous conditions on an electric power delivery system is disclosed herein. Intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) may take actions on the electric power delivery system based on commands received via communications channels and based on detected electrical conditions. When a gratuitous condition (such as a cyber attack) is detected, a block command is provided to the IEDs such that the IEDs do not effect actions corresponding with commands received over a communications system. Communications may pass through a condition monitor of a communications device to detect insecurity and either block the communications or command the IED to enter interlock mode.

    Abstract: A system for resiliently monitoring an electric power delivery system may include a plurality of server intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) configured to monitor and/or control the electric power delivery system. Each server IED may be communicatively coupled to a client control system by a plurality of communication paths. If a communication path fails, communication may continue along another path. In an embodiment, the client control system may include dual primary client controllers that continually request information from the server IEDs using multiple of the communication paths. The client controllers may request information from each other if the information is not received from the server IEDs, for example, due to a communication failure. In an embodiment, the client control system and server IEDs may be communicatively coupled in a loop topology, and each direction around the loop may be a distinct communication path.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various systems and methods that may improve the transmission of data over low-bandwidth communication channels in an electric power delivery system. Devices communicating across a low-bandwidth communication channel may implement several approaches, according to various embodiments disclosed herein, to reduce the data transmitted across the low-bandwidth communication channel and to prioritize the transmission of time-sensitive and/or more important information with respect to other data. Various embodiments disclosed herein may inspect packets to be transmitted across a low-bandwidth communication channel in order to identify high priority data. High priority data may be time-sensitive information, and accordingly, transmission of such data may be prioritized over other data in order to reduce transmission latency of the higher priority data.
