Helping Utilities to Identify & Mitigate Cyber Security ThreatsIndustry Challenges
Increasing energy demands coupled with emerging renewable and distributed generation technologies create new demands on the energy distribution grid. These challenges manifest themselves in for significant an diverse areas:
- Improving grid efficiency with additional control and monitoring systems
- Supporting future growth of Distributed Generation
- Insuring cyber security & system interoperability
- Deploying future-proof infrastructure
Vision
While many renewable generation technologies have yet to prove their economic viability, subsidies and rebate programs have created a surge in new generation technologies that pose significant challenges to the transmission and distribution grid.
Enabling secure, interoperable exchange of information between premises controls, load management systems, SCADA systems, and AMI systems is critical if the promise of Smart Grid is to be realized.
Industry has begun to embrace the importance of adopting a single network protocol whether the network is public, leased line or a private network. Internet Protocol or IP is not increasingly being acknowledged as the protocol of choice. While this narrows the choices of cyber security and interoperability standards and protocols, the industry has a long way to go to define a scalable and secure ecosystem for smart grid communications.
Tiga Energy Services offers the expertise and managed services to assist utilities, energy service providers, home and building automation, and renewable generation businesses to deploy a single, secure, standards based IP network ecosystem that scales to support not only current demands but the emerging communications demands facing the industry in the near future.
