Description
Guidance for security-oriented management of operational technology and insights on new cyber-physical security solutions for smart grids and renewable energy
Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience for Smart Grids and Renewable Energy describes state-of-the-art technologies of cyber security approaches to increase the resilience of cyber-physical infrastructures used by power grids. It begins by presenting fundamental knowledge of cyber security, computer networks, and current physical processes of power systems with the integration of distributed energy resources. By studying the forensic analysis of representative security incidents in power grids, the author explains the fundamental construction and emerging challenges unique to today’s power grids.
Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience for Smart Grids and Renewable Energy
includes information on:
- Security methods retrofitted according to domain-specific knowledge of power systems and distributed energy resources
- Possible solutions from the perspectives of systems specification, system modeling, network programming, and formal verification
- Real attack incidents and outage accidents caused by cyber-physical attacks and disruption against smart grids
Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience for Smart Grids and Renewable Energy is an excellent resource for students and engineers seeking guidance for security-oriented management of operational technology. It also serves as a starting point for academic researchers exploring new cyber-physical security solutions.
