“…After the development a consensus-based distributed voltage control architecture of isolated DC microgrids, an analytical consistency-based anomaly detection mechanism based on variables associated with the proposed algorithm is presented in Reference [39]. Reference [40] proposes an IDS built on the combination of network data, together with power system and control information. Reference [41] shows a contextual anomaly detection method based on an artificial neural network and its use in the detection of malicious voltage control actions in the low voltage distribution grid.…”

Microgrids are growing in importance in the Smart Grid paradigm for power systems. Microgrid security is becoming crucial since these systems increasingly rely on information and communication technologies. Many technologies have been proposed in the last few years for the protection of industrial control systems, ranging from cryptography, network security, security monitoring systems, and innovative control strategies resilient to cyber-attacks. Still, electrical systems and microgrids present their own peculiarities, and some effort has to be put forth to apply cyber-protection technologies in the electrical sector. In the present work, we discuss the latest advancements and research trends in the field of microgrid cybersecurity in a tutorial form.

“…Several researchers have demonstrated cyber-attacks by exploiting vulnerabilities of legacy devices in power systems [2]- [4]. Different security technologies are generally adopted to defend ICS networks such as Intrusion Detection System (IDS) [5] and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) [6]. These solutions generally raise a large number of false positives and false negatives due to the unpredictable nature of ICS dynamics e.g., power systems.…”

Many critical industrial control systems integrate a mixture of state-of-the-art and legacy equipment. Legacy installations lack advanced, and often even basic security features, risking entire system security. Existing research primarily focuses on the development of secure protocols for emerging devices or protocol translation proxies for legacy equipment. However, a robust security framework not only needs encryption but also mechanisms to prevent reconnaissance and unauthorized access to industrial devices. This paper proposes a novel Edge Security Gateway (ESG) that provides both, communication and endpoint security. The ESG is based on double ratchet algorithm and encrypts every message with a different key. It manages the ongoing renewal of short-lived session keys and provides localized firewall protection to individual devices. The ESG is easily customizable for a wide range of industrial application. As a use case, this paper presents the design and validation for synchrophasor technology in smart grid. The ESG effectiveness is practically validated in detecting reconnaissance, manipulation, replay, and command injection attacks due to its perfect forward and backward secrecy properties.

“…Thus, if the DER system is added to the entire power system without control, the DER system induces active power imbalance between generation and demand sides [4][5][6]. The need for security of the DER network increases because active power imbalance can shut down or damage the entire system [4][5][6][7][8]. The DER network connects DER devices to DER management systems (DERMS) in order to monitor the current state of DER and control the active power supply of DER.…”

Quantum computing is a game-changing technology that affects modern cryptography and security systems including distributed energy resources (DERs) systems. Since the new quantum era is coming soon in 5–10 years, it is crucial to prepare and develop quantum-safe DER systems. This paper provides a comprehensive review of vulnerabilities caused by quantum computing attacks, potential defense strategies, and remaining challenges for DER networks. First, new security vulnerabilities and attack models of the cyber-physical DER systems caused by quantum computing attacks are explored. Moreover, this paper introduces potential quantum attack defense strategies including Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which can be applied to DER networks and evaluates defense strategies. Finally, remaining research opportunities and challenges for next-generation quantum-safe DER are discussed.
