Land-Based Wind Reference Architecture

Summary

This U.S. Department of Energy report addresses the challenge of understanding and enhancing the cybersecurity of land-based wind energy systems. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a high-fidelity reference architecture for wind turbines and integrated it into an existing wind power plant architecture, focusing on communication and control systems to facilitate cybersecurity evaluations. This project is completed, with the comprehensive architecture and simulation made available in an open-source repository to support ongoing research into securing renewable energy infrastructure.
