As more Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are introduced into the medium voltage (MV) part of the power grid, the need to control these resources arises.
This control can be exercised in either a centralized or a distributed fashion, and the challenge is to assess whether either of these approaches are more secure than the other.
Work performed
Threat modeling of two alternative control architectures has been performed using a novel approach.
Significant results
Our results indicate that at the current level of detail, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions as to which architecture is more secure.
Impact for distribution system innovation
Better understanding of the different security threats that comes as a results of implementing different types of advanced control systems.
