IEEE North Jersey Section

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 6:30 PM ET, the (https://www.TechnologyOnTap.org) will host a presentation on Prototyping amateur radio systems with SDR and Raspberry Pi. [] About the Topic This presentation will describe efforts to integrate USB Software-Defined Radio (SDR) modules with a Raspberry Pi 4 running the Raspberry Pi OS 12 (Bookworm) and open-source radio applications such as Software-Defined Receiver (GQRX) and weak signal communication software (WSJT-X) to create a modular portable amateur radio system. Radio and RF apps, including a GNU Radio FM receiver flowgraph, Quite Universal Circuit Simulator (Qucs) with microstrip RF filter layout simulation, an Octave OpenEMS electromagnetic field solver, a KiCad layout example, and Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller programming examples using the Arduino IDE and the VS Code IDE, are also explored.

Abstract: Grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are being connected to the power grid to help with grid services and increasing power demands. BESSs contain stacks of battery cells that are controlled and managed by battery management systems (BMSs). Some critical functions of BMSs are sensing, estimating battery states like the state of charge (SoC), and balancing cells; BMS sensors are susceptible to cyberattacks like false data injection attacks (FDIAs) which can be used to corrupt SoC estimation, and could result in thermal runaway events. As part of a defense in depth cybersecurity approach for BESSs, cyberattack detection methods are needed within BMSs to monitor for cyber intrusions. In this talk, a three-pronged method combining battery modeling, estimating, and a recursive summation algorithm is used to detect FDIAs targeting battery voltage sensors. The method consistently exhibits accurate FDIA detection with false positive rates as low as 0%.
