Cybersecurity for a Modern Grid - Video Text Version

Below is the text version for the video Cybersecurity for a Modern Grid.

Juan Torres, Associate Laboratory Directory, Energy Systems Integration:
When we're talking about cybersecurity, it's important to to look at things from a systems perspective.

Ultimately, I see things going to more inherently resilient systems with the assumption that bad things are going to happen...

So, how do you design for that kind of a world.

I think NREL is well-positioned to work in the area of cybersecurity for a lot of the emerging technologies...we're considered a national expert in a variety of these emerging technologies like solar and wind and buildings... electric vehicles, energy storage, hydrogen...because we have such a deep understanding of all these different technologies, we've got the facilities and the capability, and the people that really understand where the grid is evolving. I think many people are focused on securing today's grid...we're gonna be focused on understanding that but taking that to design the grid of the future - the grid that's going to be more resilient to these things so that we're not in the same position that we are today.
