Cybersecurity Guidance for Marine Renewable Energy Systems
Lead Companies
PNNL
Lead Researcher (s)
- Fleur dePeralta
This project provides an approach to assessing the cyber security threats to the information systems and the consequences on the assets. The approach will then be used as input to a guidance document that will inform developers of future digital assets and ways to secure their operational and information systems.

Lead Researcher (s)
- Kenneth Ham
This project will support the Water Power Technologies Office efforts to secure infrastructure associated with an increasingly automated and connected hydropower fleet. Energy security will be enhanced by shortening the timelines for the identification and mitigation of risks. Successful mitigation will enhance the reliability and resiliency of the U.S. power grid. Achieving security in the application of automation will enable more flexible operations, improving the ability to provide auxiliary services which support grid stability.

Resilient Alaskan Distribution system Improvements using Automation, Network analysis, Control, and Energy storage (RADIANCE)
Lead Companies
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Sandia National Laboratory (SNL), Idaho National Laboratory (INL)
Lead Researcher (s)
- Tamara Becejac, PNNL
- Sigifredo Gonzalez, SNL
This project aims to perform a full-scale regional deployment of advanced technologies and methods for resiliency-enhanced operation of regional distribution grid in the City of Cordova, AK under harsh weather, cyber-threats, and dynamic grid conditions. PNNL will lead the efforts for design, analysis and evaluation of communication networks, fault propagation, interoperability and communication protocols, including IEC 61850 (and associated standard IEC 62351), for loosely- and tightly-networked microgrids. PNNL’s expertise in advanced sensors such as micro-PMUs will be utilized in the project and aspects related to optimal placement of sensors in Cordova grid will be addressed in collaboration with SNL’s efforts for microgrid design and INL’s real-time CHIL and cyber-testing.
