Summary:
|
Photovoltaic power generation system are critical assets in the global shift toward renewable energy. Their increasing deployment worldwide has led to large, complex installations that integrate photovoltaic (PV) arrays, inverters, energy storage systems, monitoring platforms, and grid interconnection infrastructure. Modern solar plants heavily rely on IoT-enabled sensors, digital control systems, and networked communication protocols for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimized energy output. this digitalization also introduces cybersecurity vulnerabilities and physical security challenges.
The combination of critical infrastructure status, distributed architecture, and interconnected ICT systems makes it essential to establish a unified security framework that addresses cyber threats. Establishing clear security guidelines helps safeguard capital investments, and maintain operational continuity, enhance interoperability, and build public and investor confidence in the reliability of clean energy infrastructure.
