DER Cybersecurity Standards Developments

closed

This project will create cybersecurity standards for distributed energy resources (DER), including solar inverters, for new products entering the market and operating in the field. Specific DER cybersecurity requirements will be included in communication protocol standards, interconnection and interoperability standards, and grid operator and aggregator architecture requirements. Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory will coordinate standards development with stakeholders, lead working groups, and accelerate codes and standards development through in-person and virtual participation. Researchers will also conduct the technical research and development required to validate the test procedures and recommendations within these standards.
