This session delves into the Dutch segment of the eFORT project, an EU-funded initiative aimed at bolstering the resilience and security of Europe’s power grids against failures, cyberattacks, physical disturbances, and data privacy issues. The Dutch partners in this project are TU Delft, TenneT, TNO, ENCS, and DNV, and focus among others on the development of the Control Room of the Future (CRoF) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). This is a facility that can be used to jointly train SOC / CSIRT and power grid operators in responding to cyber security incidents through red/blue team exercises. In this session Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and TNO will share their collaborative efforts on responding to cyber attack both at the physical and cyber layer. The session includes a demonstration of the response to a cyber attack originating from a substation and includes: automation of cyber security operations and automated response, digital twin based co-simulation for impact assessment on the grid, and actions to prevent cascading failures to avoid a blackout.
