Solar Systems: Protecting Inverters from Hacker Attacks
TÜV Rheinland: Interference in photovoltaic operating systems easily possible / No normative obligation to inspect IT security / Additional check recommended for manufacturers
(PresseBox) - Tarming the battery or adversely influence electricity grids and maybe paralyze them completely. ?In times of millions of renewable energy sources and the necessity of intelligent grids and in view of more than 75,000 home storage systems now installed, it is even more important to check whether the ing states.?
Inverter as a Communicator
Inverters convert the direct current generated by PV modules into alternating current that they feed into the distribution grid. By hacking the inverters, it is possible to gain access to the battery management system, too. In doing so, it is possible to trick the battery into an unsafe status and, on a wider scale, to attack the entire electricity grid by specifically causing massive power fluctuations. ?We were able to re-parametrize commercially available inverters without any problems,? said Roman-Alexander Br
Inspection of Cyber Security Recommended
Cyber security and protection against hacker attacks is not included in the standard functional safety inspection of solar system components designed to ensure smooth operation. ?Therefore, we recommend that manufacturers have their systems inspected and eliminate potential vulnerabilities,? explains Brperator takes place safely as planned.?
