Design and Implement a Cyber Resilience Self-Assessment Tool

vor 2 Monaten


Darmstadt, Hessen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit
About the Project

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources and decentralized energy resources into the power grid is driving the growth of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). A VPP aggregates distributed power generation units, flexible energy consumers, and storage systems to deliver power to the grid or specific consumers. Utilities and VPP operators rely on wide-area communication networks to remotely control or coordinate various Distributed Energy Resources (DER). Examples of DER include renewable energy plants, battery storage systems, and inverter-coupled devices such as electric vehicles and heat pumps.

VPP operators recognize the importance of bolstering the cyber resilience of their infrastructure, driven by the potential for cyber-attacks to impair operational efficiency, disrupt customer service, and threaten the stability of the power grid. To address this, VPP operators need tools and mechanisms to proactively assess and improve their overall cyber resilience posture.

About the Role

We are seeking motivated students interested in a challenging thesis project in the field of cyber resilience of Virtual Power Plants (VPP). The work will focus on designing, implementing, and evaluating a cyber resilience self-assessment framework tailored to the specificities and requirements of VPP.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct a comprehensive literature review to identify existing definitions and metrics of cyber resilience, as well as examine existing approaches to measuring cyber resilience.
  • Develop a weighted cyber resilience model based on the findings from the literature review, incorporating core properties necessary for maintaining the functionality of a VPP.
  • Design and implement a web-based tool for self-assessment of cyber resilience of VPP, considering technical details such as interfaces to various VPP components, protocols for data transmission and analysis, and synergies and conflicts with security- and privacy-by design mechanisms.
  • Evaluate the usefulness, effectiveness, and usability of the developed tool, collect feedback from end-users, and analyze the results to derive well-founded recommendations for further development and optimization of the tool.
Requirements
  • Studying Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable subject.
  • Interest in current developments in the field of cyber resilience.
  • Knowledge in the fields of energy systems and software development is advantageous.
  • Interest in interdisciplinary research: Cyber security engineering; Human factors in security and privacy; Usable security and privacy.
  • A high degree of initiative and team spirit.
  • Good language skills in German or English.
