4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Distributed Energy Storage Equipment Security - ID Solar Energy Systems”
What is a distributed energy resource (DER)?
Toward this goal, distributed energy resources (DER), including rooftop solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicles, etc., are becoming ubiquitous in power systems. Power utilities benefit from DERs as they minimize operational costs; at the same time, DERs grant users and aggregators control over the power they produce and consume.
Are distributed energy resources a threat to cyber security?
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are increasingly proliferating worldwide, driven by their benefits in promoting energy sustainability, efficiency, and resiliency. Coordinated approaches are crucial for aggregating diverse DERs across large areas, yet the increasing reliance on information technology exposes power systems to cyber attacks.
What will distributed energy storage look like in the future?
Distributed energy storage in the future is likely to include home-owner facilities such as vehicle power stations or solar battery storage units.
Are energy storage systems vulnerable to cyberattacks?
Energy storage systems (ESSs) are becoming an essential part of the power grid of the future, making them a potential target for physical and cyberattacks. Large-scale ESSs must include physical security technologies to protect them from adversarial actions that could damage or disable the equipment.
