BESS-Set

Smart grids are nowadays featured by distributed energy resources, both renewables, traditional sources and storage systems. Generally, these components are characterized by different control technologies that interact with the generators through smart inverters. This exposes them to a variety of cyber threats. In this context, there is a need to develop datasets of attacks on these systems, in order to evaluate the risks and allow researchers to develop proper monitoring algorithms. This dataset addresses this need, presenting BESS-Set, an open-source dataset for cybersecurity analysis, of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). We also provide the Simulink model used to collect the dataset.

 The aim is to help the scientific community to produce results in the field of cybersecurity of DERs; in particular, the dataset can be used to develop physics-based anomaly detection algorithms, that represent a promising field of research for enhancing the security of the Smart Grid
