Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in partnership with NRECA, is conducting a research project to study the cybersecurity of
systems that control inverters, and we are looking for cooperatives to serve as
technical advisors. This research will analyze the stability of different
control systems, and identify what parameters an attacker would change if
DER and utility voltage regulation and protection systems were compromised. The
team will develop simulation software that will allow utility engineers to
explore scenarios using dynamic modeling and then to test how to mitigate
cyberattacks.
This advisory provides details on this opportunity.
