Cybersecurity and Power Electronics: Addressing the Security Vulnerabilities of the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) has led the way to smarter and ultimately more efficient cyberphysical systems (CPSs). An example of such a CPS includes motor drives connected to a computer network controlling industrial processes. Another example is a recent European Union regulation that may enable utility customers to become energy suppliers-i.e., the formation of transactive energy (TE) systems or energy local area networks (E-LANs) formed by integrated smart energy nodes cooperating to accomplish system goals.
