"Visualization and Analysis of Grid-Cyber Systems Security”

Live Stream: https://youtu.be/t2KZAoVghgA

Increasing penetration of renewable energy, energy storage, controllable loads and electrified transportation on the electric grid are causing a generational change in how the grid is designed and operated. Electric inverters, critical to enabling this transformation, utilize a level of communication and control not previously required. While enabling grid control through communications, these changes are exponentially increasing the cyber vulnerability surface. NREL’s Cyber-Physical Systems Security Group is developing environments that combine emulated communication and power systems with real-physical grid devices to construct virtual grids, utilities, cites or regions to study threats, vulnerabilities, mitigations, analyses and visualizations. An overview will be provided of how this environment, NREL’s Energy Systems Integration Facility and Flatirons Campus are being interconnected to develop these environments to support future grid cybersecurity research and development efforts.
