Interfacing process-aware Intrusion Detection for distributed energy sources with DEMKit

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Sustainable energy usage requires robust communication infrastructure for optimized distribution.However, integrating smart systems into legacy infrastructure introduces cybersecurity risks like false data injection and man-in-the-middle attacks.This study advances a process-aware Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that leverages SCADA topology and real-time sensor data for improved attack detection.Expanding on prior work in medium-to-low-voltage grids, we adapt the IDS to multi-energy systems using the Decentralized Energy Management ToolKit (DEMKit).
