Power Sentinel

The increasing reliance of power grids on communication and digitalization has notably escalated the issue of cybersecurity, which potentially causes immense proprietary and physical damages. However, current technologies lack the specialized domain knowledge of power and control systems, and the unsolved problems becoming vulnerable targets for the attackers.

Power Sentinel, as a standalone safeguard device, can serve an ultimate safeguarding shield for power converters / grids dedicated to providing full-proof protection against cyber-physical attacks / faults as well as immediate recovery during the incidents. It holds promising prospect to become the backbone of an ecosystem that can steer power grid safeguarding and enhance grid resilience with intelligent edge technology features.
