What's Happening

A pilot deploying N-Dimension 340S UTM on SEL-1102 to harden utility networks and improve Smart Grid reliability.

  • Trial of N-Dimension 340S Unified Threat Management
  • Integrated on SEL-1102 tough computer platform
  • Extends defense-in-depth to field operations
  • Targets utility cyber threats and resilience
  • Aims to boost Smart Grid operational reliability

 

PowerStream Inc. announced they have chosen N-Dimension’s Smart Grid Unified Threat Management product for its substation cyber security trials.

 

“PowerStream is always looking for ways to enhance its Smart Grid efforts, including its backup power supply system initiatives, and this trial is an important element in our plans to continuously improve.” states Mark Henderson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of PowerStream Inc. “We have had a long standing relationship with both N-Dimension Solutions and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, and this exciting new product will expand our cyber security protection from our control centre to our field operations.”

PowerStream will trial N-Dimension Solutions’ new 340S Unified Threat Management system that is core to Utility defense-in-depth strategies to defend against grid cyber attacks and to improve operational reliability in Smart Grid deployments.

N-Dimension Solutions designs, develops, and markets cyber security solutions that address the specific requirements of smart grid security for Utilities. N-Dimension Solution’s 340S software product has been integrated with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) SEL-1102 tough computer platform.

“Cyber security issues represent one of the largest roadblocks to Smart Grid progress for Utilities,” explains Doug Westlund, CEO of N-Dimension Solutions. “N-Dimension is very pleased to be working with world class entities such as PowerStream and SEL, and to learn from related efforts such as the Siemens smart grid project, to solve these issues for secure and effective Smart Grid deployments.”

SEL introduced the world’s first digital relay in 1984 revolutionizing the power protection industry and has since developed a complete line of products and services.

“We are pleased that PowerStream is standardizing on the SEL-1102 as part of their cyber security solution. With a Mean Time Between Failure of over 70 years, and built to the same standards as protective relays, our tough computers are an excellent choice for grid cybersecurity appliances,” says Edmund O. Schweitzer, III Ph.D., President of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories.
