Dear IEA Wind TCP members,
We are very pleased to inform you that TEM116 on “Cybersecurity for Wind Energy Systems” will be held tomorrow, October 14th, during an online session,
We have 24 participants from 8 different countries.
We were able to bring together researchers, industry and government experts.
We are also delighted to have someone from WindEurope, who will provide an overview of the threats, regulations, and priorities in this area for European wind energy.
The primary objective of this TEM is to accelerate the implementation of effective and innovative cybersecurity measures within the wind energy sector. The meeting will provide a platform to review the current state of the industry, discuss the main challenges and barriers to adoption, reach consensus on best practices where cybersecurity is already in use, and identify immediate opportunities for applying cybersecurity solutions to address these challenges. Furthermore, the TEM will explore whether cybersecurity should be integrated into existing tasks (especially Task 43) or established as a separate, dedicated task.
This TEM aims to achieve several key outcomes, which can either be compiled into a single final roadmap deliverable or published separately as focused reports. These outcomes include:
- Developing a global understanding of cyber threats to the wind energy sector.
- Identifying top cybersecurity concerns and needs within the global wind energy industry.
- Assessing the criticality of components in representative wind systems to prioritize security measures.
- Creating cyber-informed engineering guidance and implementation strategies for wind system design based on the findings.
Best regards,
IEA Wind TEM #116 Leadership Team
