The rapid development of information and communications technology has enabled the use
of digital-controlled and software-driven distributed energy resources (DERs) to improve the …

The demand for carbon neutrality leads to the transition from traditional synchronous
generator-based power systems to power electronics-enabled power systems. The …

The digitization and decentralization of the electric power grid are key thrusts for an
economically and environmentally sustainable future. Toward this goal, distributed energy …

In a physical microgrid system, equipment failures, manual misbehavior of equipment, and
power quality can be affected by intentional cyberattacks, made more dangerous by the …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems, as critical components of the power grid, have become
increasingly reliant on standard Information Technology (IT) computing and network …

The major problem associated with the grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system is the
integration of the generated DC power into the AC grid and maintaining the stability of the …

This article reveals power grid vulnerabilities by manipulating the phase-locked loop (PLL)
in an inverter-based energy resource (IBER). An attacker can exploit the off-nominal …

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) makes it possible to collect data from, and issue
commands to, devices via the Internet, eliminating the need for humans in the process while …

This paper develops a self-protective algorithm for inverters by integrating an analytical risk
factor into a neural network framework to detect malicious setpoints. Inverters play an …

In this article an active defense mechanism for detecting cyber-attacks on a grid-tied PV
system is discussed. The proposed defense mechanism introduces a unique random signal …
