National Center for Reliable Electric Power Transmission

The National Center for Reliable Electric Power Transmission (NCREPT) at the University of Arkansas is a 7,000 square foot, national-caliber power electronic test facility. The modus-designed expansion allows for a large-scale cybersecurity testbed for electric, oil, and natural gas grid emulation, as well as higher power direct current capability and even more safety surrounding the center's high-power equipment.

"These new capabilities mean that we can more accurately emulate cyber attacks and test our solutions in a 'closer to real-world scenario' before transferring them to industry," said NCREPT director Dr. Alan Mantooth.
