Solution Brief • Distributed Energy & Microgrids
Cyber defense for Islanded & Resilient Microgrids.
Microgrids combine distributed renewable generation, battery storage, backup diesel/gas generation, and dynamic load management into autonomous electrical islands. Battery Cyber protects microgrid controllers, synchronization equipment, and edge telemetry from adversarial disruption.
Microgrid Attack Vectors
Autonomous control creates new exposure.
Unlike bulk power systems with significant rotating inertia, low-inertia microgrids are vulnerable to microsecond-scale control disturbances.
Islanding Mode Tampering
Attackers targeting IEEE 1547 anti-islanding trip signals or microgrid controller state logic can trigger false islanding events or prevent intentional reconnection to the utility grid.
DER Inverter Instability
Coordinated manipulation of smart inverter volt-VAR and volt-watt curves can induce severe voltage harmonics, triggering protective disconnects across solar and battery assets.
Air-Gap & Hybrid Boundary Breaches
Remote monitoring gateways, cellular modems for renewable incentive reporting, and local technician laptops introduce bridge points into supposedly isolated networks.
Air-Gapped & On-Premises Architecture
For defense, municipal, and healthcare microgrids requiring zero external cloud dependencies, Battery Cyber Control deploys in a 100% air-gapped on-premises configuration with local analytics and alerting.
