Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for improving cybersecurity in electric power systems. In one embodiment, a local controller configured for use in an electric power system may include a measurement subsystem to receive a plurality of conditions related to electrical conditions in a microgrid. A communication subsystem may communicate a set of data related to conditions in the microgrid to a remote controller; and receive a plurality of requests for control actions from the remote controller. An analysis subsystem may generate an assessment of the plurality of requests for control actions in relation to the plurality of conditions related to electrical conditions in the microgrid and identify a subset of the plurality of requests for control actions from the remote controller for execution based on the assessment. A control action subsystem may then issue a control action to an asset in the microgrid.
