스마트그리드에서 가장 중요한 것 중 하나로 제어센터를 뽑을 수 있다. 이러한 제어센터에서 사용되는 대표적인 프로토콜은 ICCP가 있다. ICCP는 제어센터 사이의 데이터 통신에 적합한 프로토콜로써 전력망 전체의 정보들을 다룰 수 있도록 설계되었다. 하지만 해당 프로토콜은 데이터에 대한 접근제어만을 보안요소로 가지고 있기 때문에 매우 취약한 프로토콜이다. 일반적인 ICCP는 보안이 취약하기 때문에 실제 제품들 중 일부는 Secure ICCP를 제공한다. Secure ICCP는 ICCP가 가지고 있는 보안위협에 대한 대응책으로 암호화와 인증을 제공한다. 하지만 Secure ICCP는 한계점이 존재하고, 실제 대부분의 ICCP 서버에서는 기존 ICCP만 사용하고 않기 때문에 전력제어센터 사이에 주고받는 데이터는 여전히 취약하다. 따라서 ICCP 서버에서 Secure ICCP의 사용을 권장하고, Secure ICCP가 해결하지 못하는 문제점에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 필요하다.

Current power systems are distributed geographically and operated in the form of Energy Management System(EMS)/ Supervision Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA) with the aid of computers and communications. Recently a variety of utilities have had interests in using inforrration technology to bring the efficiency and low operational costs. There is also a trend to integrdte the production, transmission, distribution and management/control of power into one and unified distributed system. To this end, Electric Power Hesearch Institute(EPRI) announced a new standard communication protocol called Inter-Control Center Protocol(ICCP).ICCP specifies the use of Manufacturing Message Specification(MMS) for services required by rccr in application layer and supports the communications between heterogeneous control centers. This paper presents the characteristics of MMS,ICCP and their relationship. Futherrnore, we implement the basic functional blocks of ICCP using MMS services under TCI/IP environments. Finally, we model a simple power system and apply the rccp protocol to this system in a window-based scheme, and finally show the operation and validation of this protocol.

This paper presents the results of a study of the effectiveness of cathodic protection with insoluble ICCP anode in reinforced concrete structures. Experimental tests were carried out on reinforced concrete specimens with 3 different commercial anodes for ICCP system in order to compare the effectiveness of cathodic protection. Results have shown that the kinds of anode for ICCP is irrelevant to the effectiveness of cathodic protection, In case of ICCP, the performance of cathodic protection has no relationship to the kinds of anode especially in concrete specimens with sea water condition. It has been found slightly more effective at Ti-Rod anode in fresh water condition and Ti-Mesh anode in atmospheric condition.

Current power systems are integrated and operated in the form of EMS/SCADA with the development of computer and communication. With this EMS/SCADA system, the production, transmission and distribution of power are effectively operated. But if the communication protocol are different from each other, it is difficult to integrate the whole system. To solve this problem, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) issued new standard communication protocol between control centers named Inter-Control Center Protocol (ICCP). ICCP specifies the use of Manufacturing Message Specification(MMS) for the messaging services needed by ICCP in layer 7 and support the communication between heterogeneous control centers. This study deals the characteristics of ICCP, relation between ICCP and MMS and also implements the data exchange between control centers using ICCP.

This thesis is about the Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) control and monitoring system. which brings protection against the corrosion of the ship's hull in the sea environments. The ICCP system is composed of a power supply. anode. reference electrode and controller. AC sources from the ship's generator are converted to DC sources in terms of power supply, and a protection current is sent to ship's hull though anode. The controller fully senses whether or not the detected potential is within a range of protection of ship's hull and then it is automatically controlled to increase or decrease the amount of protective current to be sent to the anode. The monitoring system with RS 232/485 communication is also studied in order to check the normal state of the system at a long period. because an operator does not always watch over this system and thus the system cannot operate well because of his or her negligent management. Since the vessel always navigates in the sea. an characteristics experiment of the ICCP system is conducted by introducing various corrosive environmental factors such as velocity, resistivity, dissolved oxygen, PH, temperature and contamination degree. These results must be referred to when the ICCP system is set up. In short. the ICCP is a multi-system for use on ships and on land structures because it includes a safety device. It is suggested that this system can accomodate a ship's automation and will be very useful.

Because of capacity of the electric power equipment grew larger and the electric power system was complicated, it was required a protocol to process data without the errors in order to supply the high quality and stable electric power. However, HDLC and TCP/IP communication protocol using between Seoul EMS and Kwangju RCC (or between RCC and SCC) is decreasing reliability by the delay of speed and the occurrence of errors. In this paper, we applied ICCP(Inter-Control Center Communication Protocol) communication protocol in order to improve them and implemented an electric power communication system for remote control of the electric power equipment. Also, we modified program for error correction and implemented the system using the most suitable BLT. The errors were more decreased in case of ICCP protocol than HDLC protocol and TCP/IP protocol applied to the electric power communication system.

This paper describes the anti-corrosion system on underwater structures of ships. Metals and alloys have several positions in the series such as immunity, corrosion and passivity. The iron potential has to change from the corrosion position to the anodic protection or cathodic protection for preventing corrosion by providing corrosion protection system such as ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic Protection). The purpose of ICCP system is to eliminate the rusting or corrosion, which occurs on metal immersed in water. The system includes a power supply unit, which consists of a transformer, a converter. a controller, etc. This paper presents the protection performance of ICCP under dynamic condition such as velocity. The variation of potential and current density with time and environment factors are also described Finally, the experimental results will be explained and analysed.

In this paper, physical scale modeling was employed to identify the configurations of ICCP system and the electric field signatures. Computational boundary element modeling technique has been used to simulate the performance of the CP system and to predict the associated electric fields signatures. The optimization methods combined with the computer models and physical scale modeling will be presented here, which enable the optimum system design to be achieved both in terms of the location and current output of the anode but also in the location of reference electrodes for impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP) systems. The combined methodology was utilized to determine optimal placement of ICCP components (anodes and reference electrodes) and to evaluate performance of ICCP system for the 2%, 10% and 14% wetted hull coatings loss. The objective is to design the system to minimise the electric field while at the same time provide adequate protection for the ship. The results show that experimental scale modeling and computational modeling techniques can be used in concert to design an optimum ICCP system and to provide information for quickly analysis of the system and its surrounding environment.

전력시스템에 IT를 결합한 스마트그리드에 대한 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 스마트그리드 중 전력시스템의 핵심이라 할 수 있는 전력시스템 제어센터 간 통신을 담당하는 것이 ICCP 프로토콜이며, 주로 중앙급전소와 지역급전소간의 전력망 정보들을 교환하는데 사용되고 있다. 이 프로토콜은 단지 전력망의 정보교환 뿐 아니라 전력기기제어 기능도 가지고 있다. ICCP 프로토콜은 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 기반으로 동작하기 때문에 잠재적으로 다양한 형태의 사이버 공격이 가능하다. 또한 이 프로토콜을 사용하는 중앙급전소의 경우 주요 국가기반시설로써 사이버테러에 더욱더 공고한 대응체계를 갖추어야 할 필요가 있다. 현재 ICCP 프로토콜을 사용하는 통신 구간은 일반적으로 외부 네트워크와 분리되어 그 안전성을 담보하고 있지만, 네트워크 분리를 통한 보안성 향상 기법이 체계적인 관리와 함께 수반되지 않으면 인적 취약성이나 새로운 형태의 모바일 기기를 통한 물리적 취약성에 지속적으로 노출 될 수 있는 잠재적 위험을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 보안 사고의 잠재적 발생 가능성으로 인해 외부네트워크와 분리된 제어센터들도 향후 더욱더 높은 수준의 보안 기술을 적용할 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전력 제어센터 사이에서 사용되고 있는 ICCP 프로토콜의 사이버 보안 현황에 대해 살펴보고 해당 프로토콜의 보안 위험성과 이에 대한 대응방안을 고찰한다.
