Abstract: | Safety and quality of the supplied energy are not only depending on the traditional power engineering background, but are strongly determined by the security conditions of informatics, too. The formation and the operation of the energy market (like any other electronic commerce application) have to be based on secure communication between the partners. The secret and authentic communication can be ensured using e.g. public key infrastructure. Important goal of the authors was to present the connection, the joint role of several, originally separated fields, namely power engineering, telecommunication and information security. Some of the new results of the research work carried out at S.C.Electrica S.A. are also presented in the paper. Electromagnetic compatibility between mobile telecommunication systems and other civil control and communication systems (e.g. banks, hospitals, air and municipal traffic, industrial digital control systems, fire alarm systems) has been investigated. |
