Leveraging a Cyber-Secure Building Automation System to Optimize Microgrid Operations
Monday, March 18, 2019 | Track B | 3:00 - 4:00 pm
While most if not all buildings within a microgrid have some level of building automation system (BAS), not much thought is typically given these systems when considering operating the microgrid. Certainly, the microgrid controller coordinates the supply- and demand-side activity in conjunction with the point of common coupling with the external grid. The degree to which that controller effectively integrates with the broader BAS, however, varies greatly. Complicating matters are the varied cybersecurity requirements in place in the different DoD services and civilian agencies.
This panel discussion will feature speakers from customer microgrid sites as well as BAS personnel to provide an update on what is being done and the technical and economic limitations to the art of the possible.
Key Learning Points:
This panel discussion will feature speakers from customer microgrid sites as well as BAS personnel to provide an update on what is being done and the technical and economic limitations to the art of the possible.
Key Learning Points:
- DoD cyber requirements as they impact BAS and microgrid control systems
- Capabilities of BAS in regards to how they can interoperate with microgrid controllers
- Benefits of a somewhat 'seamless' integration between the two control systems.
