Grid Trouble in Paradise: Uncovering Vulnerable Distributed Energy Resources and Their Grid-Level Risks

Grid-connected solar distributed energy resources DERs, such as solar inverters and monitoring platforms, have been deployed at unprecedented scale over the past few years, with global solar capacity more than doubling since 2022. To support monitoring and control, many of these systems are...

Bit2Watt: A Cyber-Physical Vulnerability Exploiting GPU Workloads across Power and Computing Infrastructures

Modern data centers increasingly rely on large-scale GPU clusters and on-site renewable energy resources, resulting in a tightly coupled cyber-physical system between computing workloads and power-electronic-dominated grids. In this paper, we reveal Bit2Watt, a previously unexplored vulnerability...
