IRRIIS

1. SimCIP is a deterministic, discrete-time simulation model used to study interdependencies between CIs (Telco and electric CI).

2. Visualization of an interactive map containing the component of the considered CI which are real time updated in order to show the state of each component.

3. Insert failure scenarios chosen by the experimenter to assess the propagation of failures between two differtent Cis.

4. Interface with the electric simulator “Sincal” (Siemens) and visualization of the components (bus bar, trasformers, electrical lines, etc.) of an electrical network.

How the environment works

Siemens Sincal(Continuos Electrical Simulator)

(1) loading a scenario (2) setting the failures to be simulated (3) starting a simulation

(4) SimCIP performs routing calculations and gets results.

(4) SimCIP interacts with Sincal simulator and gets results.

(5) Simulation results are stored

for results analisys

A demo experiment

OBJECTIVE: showing how the propagation of failures happens

at different time steps.

IRRIIS

STEP 0: Network in normal condition

IRRIIS

STEP 1: Some critical line tripped

Failure of a line and consequent overloading condition producing the disconnection of three critical lines.

IRRIIS

STEP 1: Some critical line tripped

Failure of a line and consequent overloading condition producing the disconnection of three critical lines.

IRRIIS

STEP 2: Critical lines are in overload condition

L7 highly overloaded

General under voltage condition of the two 20 kV

areasMVA2

MVA1

The disconnection of L7 might cause a cascading failure on the overall network.

IRRIIS

STEP 3: The overloaded line tripped

The undervoltage

condition increases in the 150 kV

and also in the two 20 kV

areas.

Telecom BoB devices will be

powered by batteries

OTHER LINES ARE AUTOMATICALLY DISCONNECTED IN A SHORT TIME. A CASCADING EFFECT WILL BE GENERATED FAST.

The power of backup batteries

expires,

with high

consequence against

the national

communication

system and the

operativity of electrical

SCADA components

STEP 4: Backup batteries of Telco site expire

GENERAL BLACK-OUTFOR THE ELECTRICAL AND FOR THE SCADA

NETWORK.
