Distributed Energy Resources Cybersecurity Outlook: Vulnerabilities, Attacks, Impacts, and Mitigations. (arXiv:2205.11171v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)
cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
The digitalization and decentralization of the electric power grid are key
thrusts towards an economically and environmentally sustainable future. Towards
this goal, distributed energy resources (DER), including rooftop solar panels,
battery storage, electric vehicles, etc., are becoming ubiquitous in power
systems, effectively replacing fossil-fuel based generation. Power utilities
benefit from DERs as they minimize transmission costs, provide voltage support
through ancillary services, and reduce operational risks via their autonomous
operation. Similarly, DERs grant users and aggregators control over the power …
