Solar cyberattacks vs. inverters
A U.S. research study team is currently establishing brand-new inverters to shield solar installments from cyberattacks. The scientists likewise intend to develop brand-new cybersecurity requirements. Teacher Alan Mantooth, the team's research study planner, claimed that inverters can be closed down if they are hacked, or add to grid instability and also lead to the overcharging of batteries, while possibly developing issues that we still do not recognize exactly how to attend to.
