The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $12 million for six new research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) projects that will develop innovative cybersecurity technology to help ensure energy delivery systems are designed, installed, operated, and maintained to survive and recover quickly from cyberattacks. Protecting the security and resiliency of America’s power grid is crucial to DOE’s goal of providing cleaner and cheaper power to Americans while advancing President Biden’s goal of a 100% clean electrical grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station’s project will leverage AI and machine learning to develop techniques and scalable prototypes for intrusion response against advanced cyber-physical threats to power systems. Partners: Rutgers University; Oregon State University; Network Perception; TDi Technologies; PSC Consulting; Electric Power Engineers. (Award Amount: $1,997,921)
