TechTalk: Exploring Battery Storage Cybersecurity and its Impact on Profitability Through Remote Monitoring and Operations

This session will shed light on cybersecurity in battery energy storage systems (BESS) and their integration into the power grid with renewable energy sources like solar and wind. It will address system security integration and the importance of remote access for maintenance, monitoring, and operations. The session will also discuss the potential obligations for battery system manufacturers and integrators, such as registering with NERC as a Generation Operator and the associated costs of an annual NERC audit, and insight into risk and financial considerations when complying with cybersecurity best practice like IEC 62443.
