On Tuesday, the Energy Ministry announced a new $39 million investment for nine national laboratory projects aimed at strengthening cybersecurity that protects the country’s power grid.
Projects at Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest and Sandia National Laboratories will concentrate the total amount of investment for studies supporting innovation in the virtual security of distributed energy resources.
Distributed energy resource (or DER) systems surround blank and renewable technologies, such as solar and wind power plants, as well as electric vehicle chargers. As the virtual infrastructure of this sector is increasingly interconnected in the broader Internet of Things, strong cyber security is maintained. Posture is paramount to strict national security measures.
“Distributed energy resources are critical to achieving President Biden’s ambitious climate and blank energy goals, and ensuring that the cybersecurity of those resources is vital to building long-term resilient energy for all Americans,” said Puesh Kumar, director of the Office of Energy Cybersecurity. Energy. Security and emergency reaction in the press release. “From detection and diagnostic equipment to harnessing synthetic intelligence and device learning, CESER is proud to assist those nine remarkable projects led through DOE National Laboratories that will deal in particular and pragmatically with DER safety. “
While each of the projects is based on the usual theme of cybersecurity, they cover the full diversity of priority areas, such as creating software to deploy in cloud service environments, facilitating knowledge sharing with a focus on visitor security, and artificial intelligence technologies. to mitigate cybersecurity attacks on force networks.
Some national laboratories are also working with personal sector corporations (such as Siemens), educational establishments (such as Cornell University) and local application corporations to implement their projects.
