Victoria O’Brien presented an invited talk entitled “Cybersecurity of Battery Energy Storage Systems” for the IEEE North Jersey Section, hosted by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), on November 14, 2024. The presentation focused on methods to ensure a robust cybersecurity posture for battery energy storage systems and highlighted Victoria’s work in repurposing anomaly detection methods to identify false data injection attacks targeting the sensors of battery systems.
This event, jointly hosted by the IEEE North Jersey Section and NJIT, allowed the research to reach a diverse audience of students and professionals in the Northeast. Additionally, the talk fostered connections with faculty at NJIT, particularly with Professor Joshua Taylor from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
The North Jersey Section of the IEEE coordinates activities for several counties in New Jersey, including Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, and Union. NJIT is classified as an R1 research university, reflecting its commitment to excellent research and scholarship opportunities.
This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Electricity (OE), Energy Storage Division.
Sandia National Laboratories is managed and operated by NTESS under DOE NNSA contract DE-NA0003525.
