Abstract

This paper describes the development and deployment of cyberaware sensors to monitor the electrical grid and aid with disaster relief. These cyberaware sensors, outstation agents, provide information of multiple parameters simultaneously acting like a black box. The sensors embedded in the outstation agents and the communication architectures are described. These outstation agents are deployed around electrical substations in stationary and mobile platforms. The data collected from the outstation agents is sent to the utility control center providing information of the current status of the electrical grid. In the event of a disaster, the outstation agents make available information on the state of the grid, failures, and resources available to create an effective restoration pathway.
