Cybersecurity for Enterprise Energy Storage Systems

As energy storage systems become increasingly connected to enterprise networks, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical consideration for energy infrastructure. 

The danger of battery energy storage systems cyberattacks is significant. The system can be controlled to cause a local power surge and damage to electrical installations. A power overload can cause transformers to blow resulting in substantial downtime. A hack can also override the internal BMS of the battery resulting in permanent damage or a fire of the BESS. 

It takes only a basic search to find a disturbing escalation of cyberthreats. 

 

 

The Growing Cybersecurity Challenge in Energy Storage

Modern energy storage systems operate as networked devices within corporate network infrastructures, exposing them to various cybersecurity risks:

  • Network vulnerability through direct integration with building management systems or shared IT systems. 
  • Potential unauthorized access to critical power management controls.
  • Risk of data breaches affecting energy usage patterns and operational data.
  • Exposure to ransomware and other malicious attacks over internet.
  • Security concerns of inverter systems and networking devices manufactured with backdoor systems.
