Description
Internet-of-Things Cybersecurity in Critical Infrastructures: Case Studies in Energy Systems takes readers from the basic principles of cybersecurity in essential public infrastructure to the specific requirements of energy systems connected to the Internet-of-Things. This book provides a holistic approach to the challenges (legal, technological, and human) of AI and IOT integration for renewable, modern energy infrastructure. It outlines the fundamental challenges and technologies of cybersecurity for essential infrastructure and goes on to apply this specifically to energy grids and systems, in the light of the ML, AI, and IOT technologies required for renewable integration.
Case studies are provided to ensure the reader is fully equipped to problem-solve and apply the knowledge in the development and planning of secure energy infrastructure. Packed with a wealth of practical experience and guidance, this book is a critical resource for energy system engineers looking for a primer on the cybersecurity needs of connected, renewable-integrated energy infrastructure.
