Module OT PNM Field Demonstration Test Procedure
This document will detail a field demonstration test procedure for the Module OT device developed for the joint NREL-SNL DOE CEDS project titled "Modular Security Apparatus for Managing Distributed Cryptography for Command & Control Messages on Operational Technology (OT) Networks." The aim of this document is to create the testing and evaluation procedure for field demonstration of the device; this includes primarily functional testing and implementation testing at Public Service Company of New Mexico's (PNM's) Prosperity solar site environment. Specifically, the Module OT devices will be integrated into the Prosperity solar site system; traffic will be encrypted between several points of interest at the site (e.g., inverter micrologger and switch). The tests described in this document will be performed to assess the impact and effectiveness of the encryption capabilities provided by the Module OT device.
