For instance, in November 2023, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Inc. (SEL) announced an expansion of its networking portfolio with the introduction of the SEL-2731 Ethernet switch. This new addition to SEL's offerings enhances its capabilities in providing critical communication solutions for industries such as power and energy. The SEL-2731 Ethernet switch is expected to play a vital role in ensuring reliable & secure communication within critical infrastructure.

Renewable energy is being interconnected with electric power systems at increasing rates and now makes up more than 20% of the annual electricity produced in the U.S. In pursuit of grid modernization, organizations and the government are developing a system aimed at providing protection to the grids, ensuring proper transmission. For instance, NREL develops and evaluates technologies and systems that enable electric grids to function more efficiently, integrate more renewable energy, and be more resilient & secure under all operating conditions.

Teleprotection systems are prone to cybersecurity threats such as hacking, malware, and denial-of-service attacks. Securing robust communication networks and teleprotection devices against various cyber threats is crucial to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and disruptions to critical infrastructure. Utilities and grid operators must implement firm & well framed cybersecurity measures, including encryption, access controls, and network monitoring, to mitigate these risks.
