6 FAQs about [Microgrid Security Content]
Do microgrids have a cybersecurity problem?
While the impact of exploiting vulnerabilities in them is understood, research on the cybersecurity of microgrids is inadequate. This paper provides a comprehensive review of microgrid cybersecurity.
Why is a microgrid a security risk?
Increased use of automation device and distributed control. The possibility for a security breach is created through the heightened penetration of monitoring and control capabilities of the system. The boundaries of a microgrid have been extended and stretched in the digital era. Cohabitation between legacy and new systems.
What is a microgrid vulnerability?
Because the microgrid consists of such essential systems as computers, actuators, sensors, and emergency systems, it faces difficulty in guaranteeing uninterrupted communication, interfacing, and security between heterogeneous and independent systems. All these vulnerabilities are considered weaknesses that can be exploited by one or more threats.
How can a microgrid be protected from cyberattacks?
To prevent unknown cyberattacks, potential vulnerabilities in cybersecurity can indicate research-related needs for enhancing the cybersecurity of a microgrid. Jamming attacks threaten wireless communication because the absence of mitigation approaches creates a weakness in the connectivity of components of the smart grid.
Can a microgrid help build a smart grid?
Especially with a current academic unanimity on the incremental significance of the microgrid’s role in building the future smart grid, this article addresses the existing approaches attending to cyber-physical security in power systems from a microgrid-oriented perspective.
What is a threat model for a microgrid?
A threat model commonly used against the microgrid is the one developed by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) [ 44 ]. This model features cybersecurity threats to ICT and non-IT assets, which are physical assets of the main operations of the system.
