Technique: AI reinforces grid security and sustainability

In today’s shifting energy landscape, the emphasis on the integration of renewable resources has stood at the forefront of continued innovation for a more sustainable future. However, this shift toward energy sources such as solar, wind and hydro to create renewable energy systems for national power grids has proved to be much more challenging.

With the growing incorporation of sustainable technologies, a similar growth in cyber attacks has arisen. Recognizing this increasing vulnerability in energy infrastructure, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has designated a $4.6 Million grant to Georgia Tech’s School of Cybersecurity and Privacy (SCP). The grant, awarded last October, will fund the development of advanced cybersecurity measures for renewable energy systems.
