Introductory remarks by the speaker

As power electronics systems play a crucial role in modern energy infrastructures, ensuring their resilience against cyber threats has become a priority. The growing integration of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and smart grids has increased the complexity of cyber-physical systems involved in energy conversion. These systems, often managed through distributed control and communication networks, are vulnerable to cyber-attacks such as false data injection, denial of service, and stealth attacks. Recent research highlights the need for advanced detection and mitigation strategies to secure DC and AC microgrids, which are critical to maintaining the stability and reliability of future energy systems​.
