National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) - USA

NREL is transforming energy through research, development, commercialization, and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

NREL researchers are transforming the way the nation and the world use energy, including energy security and resilience.

Our research in cybersecurity seeks to address today’s most critical energy security challenges—like the exponential increase in grid-connected devices, split incentives for robust cyber defense, and control of the technology supply chains that directly impact grid services.

Whether the research involves cyber threat emulation, novel security technology for complex energy systems, site risk analysis, or the development of new cyber-inclusive standards for renewables, NREL researchers are working at the leading edge of cybersecurity for clean energy technologies and highly distributed energy systems.
