This work demonstrates the feasibility of using Kali Linux in the process of power electronic device research. The novelty in this work is the use of Kali Linux in the process of power electronic device research. This operating system is mainly used for the penetration testing of various communication devices but not for power electronic device research. The aim of this work is to study the level of network security (the type of security vulnerabilities that a power electronic device has) and whether the data exchange between the power electronic device and the monitoring and control center is secure. Additionally, penetration testing has been carried out. Kali Linux was used to implement these tasks. Penetration testing was performed to verify how the studied power electronic device reacted to various TCP DoS attacks—could it be accessed, was it blocked, etc. Kali Linux and some of the tools built into the operating system—Nmap, hping3, Wireshark, Burp Suite Community Edition—were used for this study. During the penetration tests, a characterization of the traffic being processed/generated by the studied power electronic device was carried out to evaluate and analyze what impact each TCP DoS attack had on the device’s performance. In order to conduct the study, an experimental setup was designed. This experimental network was not connected to other networks, so the cyber attacks were controlled and confined within the experimental network. The research carried out validated the use of Kali Linux for the study of power electronic devices. From the obtained results, it is found that the studied power electronic device provides a certain level of network security, but the data exchange is insecure.

“…On the other hand, a typical inverter-based power system within distributed energy resources (DERs) is more vulnerable to cyber attacks when it integrates with renewable energy. Specifically, false data injection attacks (FDIA) can cause cyber-physical switching attacks that can affect power converter components [41].…”

The rapid integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is transforming the traditional electrical grid into a {\em Smart Grid}. Smart grids enable two-way communication and improved monitoring and control between utilities and customers. However, due to its heterogeneous nature, public exposure, and weak security at low-powered devices, the Smart Grid has vulnerabilities to various malicious threats, adversaries, and cyber attacks, which may affect cost and service availability. Additionally, when the systems' confidentiality, integrity, or availability are compromised, the resulting fallout can threaten national security and have cascading effects on human lives. Given the extreme consequences of an attack, smart-grid technology must be thoroughly tested for correct operation and security {\em before} it is deployed. As a result, vulnerability testing of smart grids, not only for correctness but for security purposes, has been the subject of numerous studies by academics, government agencies, and private companies. This paper reviews the vulnerabilities associated with the smart grid and spotlights simulation as the vulnerability testing methodology conducted in recent pertinent research works. It also presents various security aspects of the smart grid, including grid applications, system and network infrastructure and components, cyber threats and attacks, simulation, and different mitigation techniques. Finally, we analyze the gaps in the current research works, focusing on simulation. We briefly present a real-time simulation testbed that mimics customer behaviour and integrates hardware in the loop to apply attack methods, analyze vulnerabilities and risk mitigation associated with the smart grid system, and propose future work to improve the current framework.

The awareness of usage of power and effective utilization of power is based on intelligent decision, which can help the user as well as supplier. In this paper the design and implementation of IOT based PV integrated system is presented. A hardware prototype is developed with PV module connected to boost converter, Arduino Uno controller, ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module, and Thing speak to monitor a real-time power. The Arduino Uno serves as the central controller, gathering data from smart power meters and PV modules for solar energy generation. The collected data is wirelessly delivered to the ThingSpeak, which provides cloud-based storage, data analysis, and visualization. With these users may remotely monitor usage of power, track solar energy generation, and get notifications for energy utilization.
