Energy companies are deploying IP infrastructure on top of their electrical assets to support Smart Grid initiatives. IP infrastructure will help these companies to:
- Measure and monitor critical assets on real-time basis and strengthen grid reliability
- Generate energy production and consumption data at various levels of energy industry value chain such as generation, transmission and distribution
- Provide intelligence to the grid to meet peak load demand and facilitate demand response process
- Help in achieving North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) CIP compliance requirements
IT infrastructure helps in improving grid reliability by providing real-time information however it also exposes the grid to Cyber Security challenges. In addition to IT infrastructure risk, utility companies have to manage new cyber security requirements from NERC - CIP to minimize regulatory non-compliance risk.
