Photovoltaic Cybersecurity Research

Close

This project will identify system- and device-level cybersecurity vulnerabilities in centralized as well as distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) installations interconnected to the electric grid, develop mitigation methods including product design considerations and incidence response strategies, build a set of evaluation tools and testbeds to analyze, test, and validate system cybersecurity compliance based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework Core for cybersecurity assurance, and advise industry of the findings and push solar industry toward greater security through working groups and standards development organizations.
