The global trend of energy deregulation has led to the market mechanism replacing some functionality of load frequency control (LFC). Accordingly, information exchange among participating generators and the market operator plays a crucial…

The electrical grid consists of legacy systems that were built with no security in mind. As we move towards the Industry 4.0 area though, a high-degree of automation and connectivity provides: 1) fast and flexible configuration and updates…

Most of the smart applications, such as smart energy metering devices, demand strong privacy preservation to strengthen data privacy. However, it is difficult to protect the privacy of the smart device data, especially on the client side.…

Cyberattacks in the energy sector are commonplace. Load-altering cyberattacks launched via the manipulations of high-wattage appliances and assets are particularly alarming, as they are not continuously monitored by electric power…

Renewable energy sources (RES) are among the most popular emerging energy resources during the past two decades. Many countries have introduced various energy policy instruments, such as renewable energy certificates (RECs), to support the…

Security incidents such as targeted distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on power grids and hacking of factory industrial control systems (ICS) are on the increase. This paper unpacks where emerging security risks lie for the…

Getting agents in the Internet, and in networks in general, to invest in and deploy security features and protocols is a challenge, in particular because of economic reasons arising from the presence of network externalities. Our goal in…

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being deployed in critical systems. The data dependence of ML makes securing data used to train and test ML-enabled systems of utmost importance. While the field of cybersecurity has well-established…

The offshore oil and gas industry has recently been going through a digitalisation drive, with use of `smart' equipment using technologies like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS). There has…

The growing digitalization and the rapid adoption of high-powered Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled devices (e.g., EV charging stations) have increased the vulnerability of power grids to cyber threats. In particular, the so-called Load…

With the proliferation of the Internet and smart devices, IoT technology has seen significant advancements and has become an integral component of smart homes, urban security, smart logistics, and other sectors. IoT facilitates real-time…

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has become the primary transmission media due to its extremely low energy consumption, good network scope, and data transfer speed for the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart wearable devices. With the exponential…

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has led to the emergence of multiple smart applications in different vital sectors including healthcare, education, agriculture, energy management, etc. IoT aims to interconnect…

This paper investigates the possibility of building the Energy Internet via a packetized management of non-industrial loads. The proposed solution is based on the cyber-physical implementation of energy packets where flexible loads send use…

The increasing adoption of smart meters introduces growing concerns about consumer privacy risks stemming from high resolution metering data. To counter these risks, there have been various works in actively shaping the grid-visible energy…

This paper proposes a preventive congestion management framework with joint Local Flexibility Capacity Market (LFCM) and Local Energy Markets (LEMs). The framework enables Local Energy Communities (LECs) to optimize their flexibility…

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, intelligent systems are increasingly integrating into everyday life and people's homes. However, the proliferation of these technologies raises concerns about the security…

The integration of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices into manufacturing environments has accelerated the transition to Industry 4.0, but has also introduced new cybersecurity risks. This paper conducts a comprehensive security…

The smart grid is envisioned to significantly enhance the efficiency of energy consumption, by utilizing two-way communication channels between consumers and operators. For example, operators can opportunistically leverage the delay…

This paper introduces a model for coordinating prosumers with heterogeneous distributed energy resources (DERs), participating in the local energy market (LEM) that interacts with the market-clearing entity. The proposed LEM scheme utilizes…
