RT-METER: a real-time, multi-layer cyber-power testbed for resiliency analysis

In this work, we present a Real-Time, Multi-layer cybEr-power TestbEd for the Resiliency analysis (RT-METER) to support power grid operation and planning. Developed cyber-power testbed provides a mechanism for end-to-end validation of advanced tools for cyber-power grid monitoring, control, and planning. By integrating a host of features across three core layers-physical power system, communication network, and monitoring/control center with advanced tools,---the testbed provides a platform to model and simulate rich and diverse cyber-power grid scenarios and generating realistic sensors, system, and network data. These data are subsequently used in validating advanced tools to assist operators during complex and challenging scenarios, which is essential for the successful operation of the future grid. We detail a suite of algorithmic tools validated using the developed testbed and the generated realistic grid data.
