Location: Level One, Hall A3
In this paper an in-depth study of Cyber Attacks such as denial of service (DoS) attacks on a Solar PV Inverter connected to the grid is presented. Four distinct Cyber Attacks scenarios are examined, (a) Data flooding attack, (b) Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, (c) Compromised webserver attack and (d) Side-channel attack. Initial laboratory results on a 3.8kW grid connected PV inverter powered by a PV emulator, highlight the response for each of these attack types demonstrating the DoS and service interruption.
