Proof of concept of the Digital Twin for Water Distribution Systems

This is the beta version of the Digital Twin for Water Distribution Systems. This software uses Mininet, MiniCPS, and the EPANET WNTR simulator to emulate the behavior of different water distribution topologies. To our knowledge, this is the first digital twin that provides network information for such systems. This is because by using MiniCPS we are able to emulate a virtual network in which processes representing PLCs with their own virtual network interfaces exchange communication messages using a standard industrial protocol such as ENIP.
For each experiment two types of data are generated: i) physical data: the state of the system in time for the pland, ii) network data, each of the devices starts a tcpdump capture that creates a .pcap file with the messages sent/received during the experiment. In addition, In addition, attacks of the PLCs and communication between devices are performed generating network and physical results of such attacks.
This software is developed by the Singaporean National Satellite of Excellence Project "Learning from Network and Process data to secure Water Distribution Systems" from the SUTD Resilient Water Systems Group and iTrust.
