Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In hazardous liquids and gas control rooms, controllers rely on their Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Human Machine Interface (HMI) as their main tool. The SCADA HMI is their window into the system. Every extra second that a controller has to spend trying to decipher a confusing message, sift through a cluttered screen, or integrate data into information, translates into time lost and frustration increased. A "Highly Effective" HMI is one where planning and design goes above and beyond recommended practices to maximize controller awareness and minimize errors. Controllers are the target user group for the SCADA HMI and it must it be designed around their needs in the control room. Controllers' task needs must be researched and documented, and then represented in the HMI in a manner that is constant and consistent with Human Factors design guidelines. It is by applying a structured process and listening to controllers that we can provide them with highly effective HMIs. This book provides guidance for the HMI design process, and high-level direction for developing a highly effective HMI. It is not meant to deliver step-by-step instructions. The intention is to help guide and develop a strategy and lay the groundwork to get the HMI development process and required resources established.This book is based on the author's experience working with controllers in the pipeline industry for the last 18 years. In that time, she and her colleagues have worked in over 70 control rooms, evaluating control room environments, documenting controllers' tasks and observing controllers' interactions with other personnel and with the SCADA HMI. The author has also conducted Human Factors surveys with almost 1000 controllers in U.S., Canadian and Australian control rooms. The results of these surveys represent controllers' feedback on the SCADA HMI and are presented throughout this book.

Download or read book Machine Meet Human written by Nathaniel O'Shaughnessey and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2010-12-29 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Machine, Meet Human: Designing a Useful Interface" is written to help anyone from any background get up to speed with the state of SCADA HMI graphics design and to teach the concepts of the most effective design ideas. The idea of graphic creation covered here is a holistic approach starting with the need. Then it progresses to understanding the aspects of the Machine and the Human; what makes them unique and what makes them similar. Finally we see how we can design with those understandings in mind to leverage existing habits and natural tendencies to create graphics that enhance efficiency and safety by working with the processing of the human component. This is not a "How-To", but rather a "Why-To" for graphics design. It is not intended to build templates or libraries for you. Rather it is intended to enable and empower you to build your own graphics, templates, libraries and palettes on any system platform in any operational environment. If you have human machine interface graphics to design you will want to read this. Whether you're an experienced designer or this is your first project, there is something here for you.

Download or read book Online Intrusion Detection Design and Implementation for SCADA Networks written by Hongrui Wang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standardization and interconnection of supervisory control and data acquisition(SCADA) systems has exposed the systems to cyber attacks. To improve the security of the SCADA systems, intrusion detection system (IDS) design is an effective method. However, traditional IDS design in the industrial networks mainly exploits the prede fined rules, which needs to be complemented and developed to adapt to the big data scenario. Therefore, this thesis aims to design an anomaly-based novel hierarchical online intrusion detection system (HOIDS) for SCADA networks based on machine learning algorithms theoretically and implement the theoretical idea of the anomaly-based intrusion detection on a testbed. The theoretical design of HOIDS by utilizing the server-client topology while keeping clients distributed for global protection, high detection rate is achieved with minimum network impact. We implement accurate models of normal-abnormal binary detection and multi-attack identification based on logistic regression and quasi-Newton optimization algorithm using the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno approach. The detection system is capable of accelerating detection by information gain based feature selection or principle component analysis based dimension reduction. By evaluating our system using the KDD99 dataset and the industrial control system datasets, we demonstrate that our design is highly scalable, e fficient and cost effective for securing SCADA infrastructures. Besides the theoretical IDS design, a testbed is modi ed and implemented for SCADA network security research. It simulates the working environment of SCADA systems with the functions of data collection and analysis for intrusion detection. The testbed is implemented to be more flexible and extensible compared to the existing related work on the testbeds. In the testbed, Bro network analyzer is introduced to support the research of anomaly-based intrusion detection. The procedures of both signature-based intrusion detection and anomaly-based intrusion detection using Bro analyzer are also presented. Besides, a generic Linux-based host is used as the container of different network functions and a human machine interface (HMI) togetherwith the supervising network is set up to simulate the control center. The testbed does not implement a large number of traffic generation methods, but still provides useful examples of generating normal and abnormal traffic. Besides, the testbed can be modi ed or expanded in the future work about SCADA network security.

Download or read book Microgrids Design and Implementation written by Antonio Carlos Zambroni de Souza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the emerging trend of smart grids in power systems. It discusses the advent of smart grids and selected technical implications; further, by combining the perspectives of researchers from Europe and South America, the book captures the status quo of and approaches to smart grids in a wide range of countries. It describes the basic concepts, enabling readers to understand the theoretical aspects behind smart grid formation, while also examining current challenges and philosophical discussions. Like the industrial revolution and the birth of the Internet, smart grids are certain to change the way people use electricity. In this regard, a new term – the “prosumer” – is used to describe consumers who may sometimes also be energy producers. This is particularly appealing if we bear in mind that most of the distributed power generation in smart grids does not involve carbon emissions. At first glance, the option of generating their own power could move consumers to leave their current energy provider. Yet the authors argue that doing so is not a wise choice: utilities will play a central role in this new scenario and should not be ignored.
