Substation continuity · Evaluation

Evaluate substation continuity against agreed evidence.

One substation-to-control-center service over two circuits with a controlled degradation event.

substation Route Endlet → machine validation and admission → protected service relationship → continuous path-health evaluation → policy-approved route transition. Evaluation evidence includes circuit health, route transitions, service reachability, latency and loss, policy state, and recovery timing.Utilities · Adaptive TransportSubstation continuityVerified service path and review points01Substation RouteEndlet02Machinevalidation andadmission03Protectedservicerelationship04Continuouspath-healthevaluation05Policy-approvedroute transitionEvaluation evidencecircuit health · route transitions · service reachabilityEach control point and result is verified against the selected environment.

Evaluation plan

Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.

Keep selected substation services reachable during a controlled access-link or regional-path degradation.

01

Select the operational scope

One substation-to-control-center service over two circuits with a controlled degradation event.

02

Verify the technical path

Have representatives from grid operations, network operations, OT security, SCADA owners review the architecture path and policy boundaries.

03

Review the decision evidence

Determine whether the selected substation service remains reachable through the disruption while admission, segmentation, and service policy remain enforced.

Acceptance criteria

Define success with observable evidence and a decision.

Use representative systems, named owners, and a controlled operational scenario.

01

The evaluation includes one substation service path, primary and alternate transports, and a controlled degradation scenario.

02

Substation, grid-operations, network, security, and application owners confirm the service relationship and acceptable transition conditions.

03

The team records admission state, path health, route transitions, service reachability, policy enforcement, and recovery timing.

04

The results show whether the selected service remains reachable while the agreed controls remain enforced.

Operational outcome

Keep selected substation services reachable during a controlled access-link or regional-path degradation.

Evaluation scope

One substation-to-control-center service over two circuits with a controlled degradation event.

Decision

Determine whether the selected substation service remains reachable through the disruption while admission, segmentation, and service policy remain enforced.
