Summary:
|
A VPP is a logical power plant that aggregates geographically dispersed distributed energy resources to realize coordinated control, resource scheduling, power grid interaction and electricity market participation. The VPP ICT system, as its core information and communication support, faces prominent cybersecurity threats due to its characteristics of cyber-physical coupling, massive geographically dispersed IoT terminal access, multi-stakeholder asset ownership.
Existing general ICT/IoT security standards only cover conventional security scenarios, and cannot meet VPP’s inherent demands on heterogeneous terminal access, multi-stakeholder ownership governance, cyber-physical coupled command protection and cross-domain interface security, thus lack dedicated cybersecurity specifications for VPP ICT systems. This Recommendation defines targeted cybersecurity requirements and necessary security capabilities for VPP ICT systems (covering terminals, edge nodes and ICT platforms) to defend against typical threats and ensure the secure and stable operation of VPP.
This Recommendation will serve as a guide for the design, development, and security deployment of VPP ICT systems.
