- Ameren Smart Grid Training Platform — Participants will have an opportunities to view this mobile unit that offers hands-on practical training on equipment and technologies that are being deployed and energized on the utility grid. The platform provides valuable educational development within Ameren Illinois by helping their employees develop the necessary skillsets to properly operate and maintain the latest smart grid technologies in a real-world environment. For more information about the Ameren Smart Grid Training Platform, download this PDF brochure.
- Welcome and Networking Receptions
Optional Hands-on SCADA Security Assessment Training Lab
NOTE: Lab participants should be prepared to bring a laptop that can connect to an Ethernet network. TCIPG researchers will bring their lab to the school, providing extended training sessions on security assessment. Training will be delivered using a platform designed to provide controlled exposure to real SCADA protocols and systems that are currently the subject of research in our lab. Instructors will provide demonstrations and training about assessment tools that are currently being used or are under development in the TCIPG program. The training concludes with a hands-on exercise that allows participants to apply what they have learned in a closed environment.A limited number of seats are available for labs and will be assigned on a first-registered, first-served basis.
NOTE: Lab participants should be prepared to bring a laptop that can connect to an Ethernet network. We also highly recommend that you have installed and tested a remote desktop client on your laptop. Below are RDC suggestions based on OS:
- Windows: use the built-in Remote Desktop Connection application
- Mac: Microsoft RDC for Mac or CoRD
- Linux: rdesktop or Remmina
