    Abstract: After power is restored to a node in a utility network, that node employs one or more of its neighboring nodes as proxies to route a message to a central control facility of the utility. The message contains information about the restored node, and possibly one or more of its neighbor nodes. This information may include reboot counters, the amount of time that the node was down, momentary outages or power fluctuations, and/or the time of power restoration. The node that creates and initially sends the message can be the restored node itself, or another node that recognizes when a restored node has recently come back online.

    Abstract: A communication device detects whether anomalous events occur with respect to at least one node in a utility network. The communication device has recorded therein threshold operating information and situational operating information. The threshold operating information includes data indicative of configured acceptable operating parameters of nodes in the network based on respective locational information of the nodes. The situational information includes data indicative of configured operation data expected to be received from nodes in the network during a predetermined time period, based on a condition and/or event occurring during the time period. The communication device receives operation data from nodes in the network, and determines whether the operation data from a node constitutes an anomalous event based on a comparison of the received operation data with (i) the threshold operating information defined for the node and (ii) the situational information. The communication device outputs notification of any determined anomalous event.

    Abstract translation: 通信设备检测相对于公用事业网络中的至少一个节点是否发生异常事件。 通信装置中记录有阈值操作信息和情境操作信息。 阈值操作信息包括基于节点的相应位置信息来指示网络中节点的配置的可接受操作参数的数据。 情境信息包括基于在该时间段期间发生的状况和/或事件,指示预定在预定时间段期间从网络中的节点接收的配置的操作数据的数据。 通信设备从网络中的节点接收操作数据,并且基于所接收的操作数据与(i)为该节点定义的阈值操作信息的比较,确定来自节点的操作数据是否构成异常事件,以及(ii) 情境信息。 通信装置输出任何确定的异常事件的通知。

    Abstract: To provide overall security to a utility management system, critical command and control messages that are issued to components of the system are explicitly approved by a secure authority. The explicit approval authenticates the requested action and authorizes the performance of the specific action indicated in a message. Key components of the utility management and control system that are associated with access control are placed in a physical bunker. With this approach, it only becomes necessary to bunker those subsystems that are responsible for approving network actions. Other management modules can remain outside the bunker, thereby avoiding the need to partition them into bunkered and non-bunkered components. Access to critical components of each of the non-bunkered subsystems is controlled through the bunkered approval system.
