Description

Offshore wind farms (OWF) are relevant to the grid system and represent a substantial component in the energy transition. Risks such as cyber-physical threats need to be assessed and controlled to protect these infrastructures. In this work, it is aimed to model the relevant cyber and information security components of an OWF and to assess phase-specific risks. The model and risk assessment will be employed to propagate threats and to quantify the systems resilience.
