CIGAR 'smokes out' attacks on solar electrical power equipment
DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
While the need for security in the power grid is clear, cybersecurity has typically been "bolted on" after the fact rather than designed in from the outset. Enter the Cybersecurity via Inverter-Grid Automatic Reconfiguration (CIGAR) project, designed to provide security protections for emerging power systems.
