Abstract

This paper discusses the development and use of a cyber range scenario for teaching cyber security in the energy sector, specifically in the smart grid. The scenario focuses on testing the DLMS standard for electricity metering using virtual smart meters and concentrators. The aim is to demonstrate the security issues of these devices, how they can be compromised, and to prevent the theft of sensitive personal data or, in extreme cases, even disconnection of the customer’s electricity. The paper describes the use of this scenario in a teaching context and highlights its importance in raising awareness of cyber security in the energy sector.
