How Security Regulation Can Help Grid Stability


Grid stability is at risk. The advent of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as solar, wind, and batteries, has increased the attack surface of energy generation. While cities once had few power plants, they now host thousands of smaller, intermittent sources. These DERs are often managed by entities without uptime requirements. At the same time, traditional energy sources face greater de... » read more
