This online engineering PDH course provides an insight on the importance of cybersecurity on the electric grid systems.
The U.S. grid’s distribution systems—which carry electricity from transmission systems to consumers and are regulated primarily by states—are increasingly at risk from cyberattacks. Distribution systems are growing more vulnerable, in part because their industrial control systems increasingly allow remote access and connect to business networks. As a result, threat actors can use multiple techniques to access those systems and potentially disrupt operations.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers and other technical personnel who are interested in learning more about how to protect the electric grid from various cyberattacks.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the importance of electric grid cybersecurity
- Learning why modern electric grid systems are at risk of cyberattacks
- Familiarizing with the different methods used that compromise the security of industrial control systems
- Understanding the potential impact of cyberattacks on industrial control systems
- Knowing the potential threat actors that may pose significant threats to the grid’s distribution systems
- Learning the various actions aimed at improving grid distribution systems’ cybersecurity
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Electricity Grid Cybersecurity”, which is based on the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) document titled “ELECTRICITY GRID CYBERSECURITY: DOE Needs to Ensure Its Plans Fully Address Risks to Distribution Systems”, publication no. GAO-21-81.

This online engineering PDH course presents details cover issues related to DC fault calculation, DC protection equipment and DC arc flash energy calculation.
IEEE 1584 standard does not discuss arc flash hazard calculations in the DC systems. Standard NFPA-70E- 2000 provides a short calculation method. Therefore, the current literature is lacking calculations of arc flash hazard in DC systems. The necessary calculation steps are very similar to calculations in AC systems, however there are marked differences, particularly with respect to protection, cause of short-circuit currents in the DC electrical systems, and the current interruption devices in DC systems, which function fast to limit the energy let-through.
