LSP 8302 — Solar Energy and Networking Basics
Provides overview of data communication technologies, deployment techniques, and regulatory considerations associated with photovoltaic (PV) module rapid shutdown solutions. Gives a foundation in data communication concepts associated with PV module communication solutions and their regulated operating environments. Examines the evolution of DER networks based on the IEEE 2030.5 standard, how this evolution introduces cybersecurity risks, and how these risks can be mitigated. Students will acquire a foundation in the basic cybersecurity concepts that are needed to understand the more detailed considerations associated with securing DER in the grid.
