Description
Summary:Currently, the solar industry is operating with little application - specific guidance on how to protect and defend their systems from cyberattacks. T his 3 - year Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office - funded project helped advance the d istributed energy resource (DER) cybersecurity state - of - the - art by (a) bolstering industry awareness of cybersecurity concepts, risks, and solutions through a webinar series and (b) developing recommendations for DER cybersecurity standards to improve the security performance of DER products and networks . Drafting DER standards is a lengthy, consensus - based process requiring effective leadership and stakeholder participation. This project was de signed to reduce standard and guide writing times by creating well - researched recommendations that could act as a starting place for national and international standards development organization s . Working within the SunSpec/Sandia DER Cybersecurity Workgro up, t he team produced guidance for DER cybersecurity certification, communication protocol standards, network architecture s, access control, and patching. The team also led sub groups within the IEEE P 1547.3 Guide for Cybersecurity of Distributed Energy Res ources Interconnected with Electric Power Systems committee and pushed a draft to ballot in October 2021.
