MORNING BREAK Morning Session 2: Cyber-physical Energy Storage and Security Session Description: Speakers will discuss the cyber-physical aspects of DERs (e.g. energy storage) integration into the grid including hardware, communication and control software. This session will evaluate whether deployment of DER as a cyber-physical system will add additional security risk to the power system. Panelists will share their solutions on how the cyber-physical security concerns of DER integration can be identified and addressed. Panelists will also share their viewpoints on how the stored energy can be used to enhance energy security of critical facilities in the face of blackouts, extreme weather or cyber-physical attacks.
