POWER Digital June 2012 Issue

POWER Digital Issue has arrived!
In the June 2012 Issue:
Cover Story: Cybersecurity
Ensuring the Cybersecurity of Plant Industrial Control Systems
Although industrial control systems (ICSs), including those used in power plants, integrate common information technology components, they also entail much more. Consequently, the skills needed for designing and securing such systems are more complex- and scarce. Case studies describe power plant cybersecurity events that have already happened, while the checklist for achieving a secure ICS operating environment could help your plant avoid becoming a future case study.
Guidance on Cybersecurity for the Electricity Sector
Cybersecurity supports the reliability of the electric sector and must address interconnected systems in grid modernization. PERI underscores why cybersecurity needs to be addressed in all systems, not just critical assets.
Special Reports
Air Quality
Everything you've ever wanted to know (or at least need to know) about the varieties of particulate matter, its regulation, and permitting and measurement considerations.
Energy Storage
Boosting CPS Production with Thermal Energy Storage
Energy storage is one way to increase grid flexibility, and many storage options are available or under development. This article, contributed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, looks at a technology already being used at scale - thermal energy storage deployed with concentrating solar power (CSP).
