STORY at Energy Days 2018 in Vienna

Heribert Vallant from STORY spoke at the “Stationary Energy Storage” conference during the imh Energy Days 2018 in Vienna about measures to protect the energy storage components in the distribution grid against cyber-attacks.The increasing digitization of the energy grid allows criminal hackers to attack the energy system at different levels and to exploit weak points and penetrate the whole system. Therefore a corresponding safety-related approach, which has to be addressed already during the requirements and the design phase and continuously implemented during development and testing and finally constantly refined during operation accompanied by an established audit process, is essential for the systems operating on the critical infrastructure.
