Cyber-attacks on the smart grid need to be prevented and mitigated to ensure energy security
Digitalization is gaining more attention as a way to support in the energy transition. It can help obtain more detailed measurements and real-time data on energy use, which can help make better predictions and decisions.
Digitalization is also an important aspect of the smart grid, which uses digitalization to measure and communicate data, and control and monitor devices to integrate multiple energy sources.
The goal of a smart grid is to provide a more environmentally friendly, reliable, and intelligent energy system.
A risk of smart grids are cyber-attacks that can put energy security at risk. This is why preventing cyber-attacks on the smart grid is essential. When attacks do take place, the consequences should be mitigated.
In this article, I explain these risks in more detail and possible solutions:
