Do microgrids have a cybersecurity problem?

While the impact of exploiting vulnerabilities in them is understood, research on the cybersecurity of microgrids is inadequate. This paper provides a comprehensive review of microgrid cybersecurity.

What do you know about microgrid security?

IPV6 and 5G for microgrid security. Architecture and issues of covert network channels in microgrid. Resiliency of microgrid against (Distributed) Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. Microgrid resiliency and security towards integration with cloud infrastructure. Security design and verification tools.

How can a microgrid be protected from cyberattacks?

To prevent unknown cyberattacks, potential vulnerabilities in cybersecurity can indicate research-related needs for enhancing the cybersecurity of a microgrid. Jamming attacks threaten wireless communication because the absence of mitigation approaches creates a weakness in the connectivity of components of the smart grid.

Is microgrid control a cyber-physical system?

Microgrid (MG) control as a cyber-physical system (CPS) against cyber-attacks (CAs) is one of the concerns of researchers. CAs include deception attacks, denial of service (DoS) attacks and replay attacks. Defense mechanisms against CAs consist of prevention, detection and isolation of CAs and resilience control of MG.

Can a microgrid help build a smart grid?

Especially with a current academic unanimity on the incremental significance of the microgrid’s role in building the future smart grid, this article addresses the existing approaches attending to cyber-physical security in power systems from a microgrid-oriented perspective.

What is a microgrid vulnerability?

Because the microgrid consists of such essential systems as computers, actuators, sensors, and emergency systems, it faces difficulty in guaranteeing uninterrupted communication, interfacing, and security between heterogeneous and independent systems. All these vulnerabilities are considered weaknesses that can be exploited by one or more threats.
