About Session

Technical Level: Beginner

Over a couple of years Statkraft has conducted a program of emergency response drills/exercises to prepare for cyber-attack scenarios in process control and relevant interfaces for the power grid.
These exercises and drills has been done in practice over 24 hours in several production/catchment areas and facilities, and relevant part of our infrastructure to see how different isolation scenarios could affect Statkraft production and personnel, and to prepare and improve our organization as best we can. This talk will include power generation in total, hydro power, energy market, SCADA system, station control and people.

In the talk we will give you insight to why we did it, how we did it, pros vs cons and key learnings.

Statkraft AS is a 100 percent Norwegian state-owned power production and energy markets company with operations in 21 countries around the world.
