Securing the Modern Power Grid: Challenges in the 3D Energy Transition

#power-systems #grid #security #energy

Abstract: To meet the demands of a modern society, the electric grid is rapidly integrating renewable energy and leveraging smart, connected technologies. This convergence creates a new class of stability and security challenges. We will investigate how the temporal variability of renewable sources interacts with the increasing coordination potential of ubiquitous, high-wattage IoT loads, elevating the grid’s overall vulnerability to emerging cyber-physical threats. The presentation will outline the critical challenges this evolution poses and detail our advanced methodologies for mitigating these risks, ensuring a secure and resilient future for power systems.
