As more electric vehicles (EVs) hit the road, charging stations are popping up across the United States. The benefits go beyond curbing carbon emissions from road travel. These systems can also link to the electric grid through smart charging, drawing power when overall demand is low and feeding it back … [continued]
Deep reinforcement learning for cybersecurity could help deter adversaries. close In simulations against three distinct types of adversaries, deep reinforcement learning demonstrated the promise of autonomous AI in proactive cyber defense.
Leadership from the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office met with cybersecurity researchers at NREL in July 2022. Saleem (center), along with Jordan Peterson, Ryan Cryar, and William Hupp, helped bring together diverse energy sector stakeholders to evaluate research priorities for improving cybersecurity of distributed generation on the grid. In July … [continued]
Members of the electric vehicle (EV) industry gathered at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in early April to evaluate enhanced cybersecurity for the connections between electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. By Connor O’Neil, NREL As more EVs enter the market and connect to the electrical system, potentially exposing cyber … [continued]
Why I believe the EARN IT act is something we should all oppose.
The Cybersecurity Value-at-Risk Framework Allows Hydropower Operators To Assess Their Risks and Make Informed Investments for Enhanced Cybersecurity
Not long ago, 100% renewable energy was a distinction reserved for remote communities avoiding costly energy imports. But now, some U.S. states are reaching very high levels of renewable energy, and the largest urban areas on the planet are targeting 100% renewable operations, basing their futures around variable power from wind and … [continued]
An exciting new initiative has been created by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to catalyze the development of cybersecurity solutions for the nation’s clean energy grid of the future. The Clean Energy Cybersecurity Accelerator brings together federal infrastructure and expertise, asset owners … [continued]
Q&A With Secure Cyber-Energy Systems Manager Dane Christensen The modern grid transmits power, but making that happen relies on vast amounts of data from a rapidly increasing number of devices communicating digitally through highly interdependent systems. This complexity presents new challenges to maintain energy system reliability and resilience, particularly as … [continued]
