Cybersecurity for wind energy systems integrated into smart grids

Wind energy systems integrated with smart grids are vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. These days, wind turbines can communicate with the grid through the Internet. This means cybercriminals can use this connection to disrupt the power supply. Two most important components for cyber security for wind farms are the turbines themselves and the control system. Cybersecurity …
