In-Network Logging and Missing Data Recovery In PMU Networks via Programmable Data Plane Devices

The primary focus of this project is to investigate the usage of P4 programmable network switches in bolstering the reliability of power system networks. Specifically, we are investigating a decentralized, in-network approach to PMU data logging and missing data recovery. In practice, an in-network approach to data logging allows for improved retroactive power-system analysis without the need for adjusting the current hardware in PDCs. Additionally, an in-network approach to missing data recovery will allow for faster and more accurate readings of the state of a power grid, meaning system faults and security threats can more quickly be detected and mitigated,
