Securing Distributed Energy Systems with NREL’s DERCF

Compared to traditional centralized generation, distributed energy resources (DER) result in complex, data-driven communications networks—which presents a unique challenge to our electric grid. Watch this video to see how NREL’s Distributed Energy Resources Cybersecurity Framework (DERCF), a comprehensive web tool that helps users assess the cyber posture of their own DER systems, can help to ensure the renewable energy assets of our grid are protected as more of these resources are brought online.
