Title: Security Threats and Models in the Field of Renewable Energy Systems
Keywords: cyberattack; cybersecurity; monitoring; solar energy

Abstract: Electricity is a crucial part of everyday life, being used in almost every aspect and any field of work. Nowadays renewable energy systems are being built, because of their sustainable way of producing electricity, and making the world safer and cleaner. With their integration and use in households and even countries' whole infrastructures, their outage and disruption of the production process can cause serious issues. Energy systems are directly connected to the economic situation of a country and a single failure can create a cascade of disturbances. Because of the digitalization and requirements for remote monitoring of the equipment used in such systems, they have become more vulnerable and can be exploited by malicious intruders over the Internet. In this research we will examine the different types of cyber threats concerning the security of renewable energy systems. We will introduce a defense strategy model to secure the infrastructure of a renewable energy system.
