Distributed Renewables Cyber Resilience

The benefits of renewable energy continue to grow, with wind generation supplying 9.2% of generation in the U.S. and up to 22.6% in other western countries like Germany. Solar is at 2.8% in the U.S. (for utility-scale installations) and near 10% in Germany. Through diversification and greater distribution system integration, the application of renewable energy promises greater power system resilience from threats that include damaging storms and cyber-attack.

While renewable energy offers communities the ability to meet critical load demand, distributed systems can lift the resilience burden on transmission systems and large-scale generation suppliers to fulfill these needs.
