The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded a $2.5 million grant to Iowa State University engineers to establish a new cybersecurity centre focused on protecting power grids that rely on renewable energy sources.
The project, led by Iowa State University’s Manimaran Govindarasu, will lead to the creation of the Center for Cybersecurity and Resiliency of DERs and Microgrids-integrated Distribution Systems (CyDERMS).
