Cybersecurity in Smart Renewable Energy Systems

Cybersecurity-enabled smart renewable energy system security requires a multifaceted strategy that includes proactive risk assessment, strong defenses, stakeholder cooperation, and the combination of cutting-edge technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain. To safeguard vital infrastructure and guarantee a continuous supply of energy, defense-in-depth strategies such as encryption protocols, and access controls can be put into place in conjunction with cybersecurity awareness campaigns and regular security audits. In the face of changing cyber threats, these initiatives are crucial to protect data privacy and system resilience for the development of sustainable energy. This study aims to provide important insights into current practices, identify areas for improvement, and provide insight for further studies and regulations intended to improve the energy infrastructure’s security and resilience in the digital era.
