NERC CIP: "An increasing number of sophisticated electronic devices are finding their way to the substation. Utilities are just beginning to appreciate the value of the information these Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) can provide. However, many of these IEDs must now be considered critical cyber-assets and must be secured in compliance with NERC CIP-002-1 through CIP-009-1 Cyber Security Standards. This article discusses strategies now being implemented by major utilities in order to achieve the benefits of IED integration, while meeting NERC Cyber Security Standards."

Pilot Projects: "Most utilities are faced with the daunting task of integrating new devices with their existing RTUs and SCADA. To provide this type of capability, automation systems now require sophisticated communications infrastructure to connect the substation devices to the various control centers. Because of the complexity of this task, we propose a common-sense approach to pilot projects that has been used successfully to minimize the risks and costs in a large number of substation automation projects."
Planning Your Pilot Project, Part I.

Redundancy Options: "As the SMP is a central element in the substation it offers several different options to create redundant solutions. This document will outline the redundant options one by one. The usage will be described with diagrams as much as possible. At the end use cases will be presented to show how combinations of redundant options can be used to create reliable communication systems."
