Power System Transformation and Cyber Security

Localized technology adoption and cyber security are two important areas in the ongoing power system transformations toward high efficient, sustainable and resilient power grids. At this panel, members from IEEE Standard Association (SA), IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES), and IEEE Industry Application Society (IAS) will present their recent work on assessing viewpoints and trends in the next generation energy (renewables, energy storage, distributed energy resource (DER), energy efficiency, and grid modernization, etc.), based on recent global system operator survey and research on the subjects. Officers from the Global Power Systems Transformation (G-PST) Consortium will provide introductory overview on the consortium activities. Experts from industry and regulatory offices will highlight the importance of cyber security in grid operation.
