3512: Electric Utility Guideline for Inventory and Asset Management of Cyber Security Assets

Utilities typically employ asset management programs and systems to manage the lifecycles of field equipment such as poles, insulators, transformers, turbines and generator components, and the like. Due to increased physical and cyber security threats to these traditional utility assets, and due to regulatory requirements, such as the NERC CIP standards, utilities have been deploying and managing increasing numbers of security assets. Specifically for cyber security, the assets are composed of a

3511: Electric Utility Guideline for Asset Management of Physical Security Assets

Utilities typically employ asset management programs and systems to manage the lifecycle of field equipment such as poles, insulators, transformers, turbines, and generator components. Due to increased physical and cyber security threats to these traditional utility assets, and due to regulatory requirements, such as the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP), utilities have been deploying and managing increasing numbers of security assets.

3502: Assessing Transmission Station Security Threats and Risks

The process for assessing threats and risks to transmission stations is applicable in any environment where people and/or assets may be at risk from a security-related incident or event that could result in human death, injury, or loss of an asset.The goal of this project is to provide utilities with a template that may be used in its entirety or in part to conduct Threat Risk Assessments (TRA) on sites of varying size and complexity.Zone managers, familiar with issues associated with safety and

3501: Practices & Products for Securing the Perimeter of Electrical Transmission Stations

Perimeters of stations containing high voltage apparatus are secured to protect the public from high hazard areas and to protect valuable station assets from theft, vandalism, mischief and sabotage. The electrical utility industry has made good progress towards improving perimeter security as threats and risk have increased. New developments in perimeter security systems and practice are continually assessed with a view to applying appropriate solutions to further improve the security of electri

3508: Key Management

A critical component of physical security is key management. The management of keys has historically been poorly controlled within electrical utilities. Card access is partially replacing the installation of mechanical locks but in many cases conversion to electronic card access control is not practical. The objectives of this report are to identify approaches to key management and to develop recommendations for best practices that can be applied to the full range of access-control needs of elec

3503: Security System Design and Engineering Specification Templates for Electrical Utility Use

Security systems and devices are increasingly being used by electric utilities to protect their transmission assets. Utilities require a high degree of reliability, safety and functionality from their security equipment. They require design, procurement, commissioning, and operational specifications which address their security needs in electrical station applications. Security system integrators are often hired by utilities to recommend equipment and designs for electrical stations due to a lac

3733: Best Practices in Copper Theft Mitigation

Copper is a vital component for electrical power systems as utilities are heavily reliant on copper conductors given its impressive ductility, malleability, anti-corrosive, and conductive characteristics. However, the high scrap metal value of copper makes utility facilities and assets a likable target for copper thieves. Copper theft from electricity infrastructure not only threatens the reliability of the electric grid, significantly costing the utilities millions of dollars in repairing and f
