Our test environment incorporates a unique blend of physical, emulated, and virtualized components, spanning from electrical substations to SCADA systems, thereby offering a versatile platform for testing against cyber threats, facilitating educational programs, and supporting advanced traffic simulation. Motivated by the increasing digitalization of energy networks and the growing risks associated with cybersecurity and crisis management, this work responds to geopolitical situations and a series of attacks on electricity infrastructure, such as in Ukraine between 2015 and 2024. For instance, in 2015 and 2021, major cyberattacks caused power outages in Ukraine and the USA, emphasizing the urgent requirement for robust testing platforms. Key findings from our deployment highlight the testbed’s effectiveness in identifying vulnerabilities, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and providing valuable hands-on learning experiences. The integration of such diverse components not only exemplifies a significant step forward in testbed design but also showcases its potential in fostering innovation and security in the power sector. Through detailed comparisons with existing testbeds, we underscore our testbed’s distinct features and its contribution to bridging the gap in current methodologies, setting a new benchmark for future developments in smart grid testing and education.
