Thesis Opportunity: Cyber Resilience Framework for VPPs
Vor 6 Tagen
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled individual to join our team at Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft as a Cyber Resilience Expert for Virtual Power Plants. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a challenging thesis project focused on designing, implementing, and evaluating a cyber resilience self-assessment framework tailored to the specificities and requirements of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).
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, capturing 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, taking into account 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 and collect feedback from end-users, analyzing the results and deriving well-founded recommendations for further development and optimization of the tool.
- 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.
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is a leading organization in the field of applied research, focusing on key technologies and the utilization of research results in industry and economy.
