Vendors designed the components used in the microgrid with certain assumptions about existing security controls. The utility is too small to influence these facts but, working with the design
This Review surveys the key developments and challenges in securing microgrids against cyber threats, with a focus on microgrid control.
This report will explain how microgrids operate, the ways in which they can support the reliability and resilience of the power grid and the policies state legislatures have
We aim for microgrids to represent essential building blocks of the future electricity delivery system to support resilience, decarbonization, and affordability.
Potential entry points to the grid are now ubiquitous; even a streetlight with a wireless sensor could be hacked. “Basically, if you can control it wirelessly, an attacker can potentially access
This article defines the concept of a Defense Energy Architecture that may guide the construction of microgrid systems to supply desired energy production while supporting energy
While DOE has made significant progress in supporting microgrid deployments, there remain research gaps for both remote microgrid, and microgrids for critical infrastructure, which are
To address these issues, this report seeks to understand the unique components, functions, and communications within networked microgrids and what cybersecurity solutions can be implemented
Microgrids include controls and communication systems that contain cybersecurity risks. A 2018 study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that microgrids in the Continental
