Overview

The Secure Information Exchange Gateway (SIEGate) is a security-centric appliance designed from the ground up to reliably exchange the information necessary to support real-time control room operations. SIEGate can exchange measurement data (ID, time, value, quality), alarm and notification data as well as batch or file-based data. As compared to current utility practices, SIEGate significantly improves security while reducing the administrative burden and cost to exchange grid data among control rooms.

SIEGate is a publish-subscribe technology that exchanges data among devices (such as other SIEGate nodes) using GPA's Gateway Exchange Protocol (GEP). SIEGate is capable of moving a large and continuously varying set of data at low latency. In addition to the features provided by pub/sub communications, when used to exchange phasor data, GEP avoids being encumbered by IEEE C37.118 frame size issues and limitations. A single instance of SIEGate on common hardware can exchange about 5 million measurements points per second.

SIEGate also includes numerous TSL Adapters that are available through the Grid Solutions Framework.

SIEGate was developed with DOE funding under project DE-OE-536.

Features

In addition to the above listed features, SIEGate also offers:

  • High-trust relationship among gateways.
  • Metadata naming services that facilitate data sharing without a requirement for naming rules.
  • Implementable as a high-availability solution.
  • Modularized and adaptable.
  • Code reviewed and segmented to improve security.
