Introduction
NERC – North American Electric Reliability CorporationRecognition of possibility of “cyber” attacks on electrical gridNERC has established Critical Infrastructure Protection Committee (CIPC) to define challenges in cyber securityImpact of NERC – CIPC Requirements on life cycle management of protection devices

Some NERC Requirements
Cyber SecuritySetting Process Control and traceability
Management of Triggers for setting changeSite Feedback
Password Management for Protection RelaysControlled Management of the Protection parameters and not only files for digital relaysData Consistency CheckNERC Standard Report on network faults and Protection misoperationsControlling fulfilment of the Standard on “Loadability”
Cyber Security related to protection
Protective Relays are essential assets for reliable operation of the power gridManagement and controls of the relay settings need to minimize cyber attacks (Cyber Attacks can be internal or external)Additionally control of physical access standards is required:
Company Cyber Security policyStrong password managementSetting change control managementRelay change controlPersonnel awareness and training
Current Detected Problems
Inconstent Data Management of Digital Protection RelaysSeparate independent management of relay inventory, relay settings, and relay testingInconsistent Management of Relay settings:
Only variable parameter management (“Important parameters”)Inconsistant management of relay setting filesIneffective parameter (setting) change management
Inadequate password managementWho has access?Change management
Inadequate Setting consistency check from start to the end of the processMissing parameter controlling functionality
What is necessary for NERC-CIPC setting management compatibility
Dedicated IT database System with User Rights Management Defined, documented, and IT-supported setting workflow processIntroduction of the Setting Request Identifiers (Identification)Introduction of the Variable and Fixed Setting ParametersSetting Change tracking with Tracking of the parameter value originPassword managementRelay Misoperation managementRelay Failure ManagementIntroduction of the reference setting within setting databaseConsistency check from start (setting change trigger) until site as-built setting (In service)
