CYPHER Technical Director Dr. Hui Lin Publishes New Book on Cyber-Physical Security for Smart Grids

CYPHER congratulates Dr. Hui Lin on the publication of his new book, Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience for Smart Grids and Renewable Energy.

The book provides a comprehensive perspective on protecting modern power infrastructure as energy systems evolve toward smarter, more distributed, and renewable-integrated grids. It introduces foundational concepts in cybersecurity, computer networks, and power system operations, and examines the emerging challenges created by distributed energy resources.

Drawing on real-world cyber incidents and power outage events, the book highlights vulnerabilities within today’s grid and explores new approaches for strengthening security and resilience. It presents practical methods for protecting operational technology, including techniques based on system modeling, formal verification, and specialized network programming tailored to power system environments.

Designed for students, engineers, and researchers, the book serves both as a practical guide for managing cyber-physical risks in smart grids and as an introduction to cutting-edge research on securing next-generation renewable energy systems.
