Initial Currents: AGI Setting Course for a Perfect Cyber Storm in DER
WattClarity's "SA Islanding: Managing solar on the island" by Blake Ashton [1] spotlights SA Power Networks Flexible Exports for DER, including rooftop PV, and the many benefits it provides to their customers and more importantly traditional SA network security. It also brings to the forefront our thinking on the securing of DER against Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) risks, both known and more importantly, unknown.
AGI's Role in DER Systems - AGI integration in DER presents both efficiency gains, and system security benefits and risks. It's crucial to balance AGI's optimisation capabilities with potential vulnerabilities.
Containment in AGI-Dominated DER - Containment strategies focus on limiting AGI-related cybersecurity threats in DER. This involves diverse measures to mitigate potential impacts while acknowledging challenges in completely preventing AGI risks.
Learning from History, Preparing for Future - Past infrastructure failures, like South Australia's 2016 blackout, show the severity of physical breakdowns. AGI introduces digital threats that could have broader consequences in DER systems.
Diverse Defence in DER - To combat AGI threats, DER systems need diverse defence mechanisms, including varied and diversified hardware, communication and control systems. This ensures resilience against sophisticated AGI threats.
Regulatory and Collaborative Measures - Addressing AGI in DER requires strict cybersecurity measures, supported by policies promoting technological diversity. Collaborative efforts across sectors are vital for developing effective containment strategies.
Proactive Measures and Continuous Innovation - Regular training and understanding AGI's potential risks are essential in DER management. Ongoing research and innovation are necessary to stay as close as possible to AGI advancements and "The Coming Wave" [2].
AGI in DER, highlighted by SA Power Networks initiative, presents challenges and opportunities which they and our industry are addressing. This first step should "wake" us all to educate ourselves on containment strategies encompassing cybersecurity, regulatory and infrastructure diversity. A collaborative effort is crucial for effectively managing these emerging threats. Collective foresight and adaptability are key in leveraging AGI's benefits while securing our energy infrastructure.

Exciting news has arrived for the Great Yarmouth SPE Section - the decision to relocate our operating base from Great Yarmouth to Norwich is set in motion. This strategic move holds immense significance for our section, with the recent technical talk by Rawdon Seager serving as a reminder of the profound impact such shifts can have on our members.
The shift to Norwich comes as a response to the evolving landscape of the oil and gas industry in our region. As the industry's center of gravity shifts towards Norwich, it only makes sense for our SPE Section to follow suit. By making Norwich our new home, we aim to provide our members with enhanced access to technical talks, social events, and knowledge-sharing opportunities. This transition aligns with our commitment to keeping our members connected and informed in an ever-evolving industry.
The recent Distinguished Lecture delivered by Rawdon Seager underscored the importance of this move. Seager's expertise, honed over five decades, enlightened professionals from operators and service companies on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS). The enthusiastic response to this lecture is a testament to the kind of invaluable knowledge-sharing opportunities that await us in Norwich.
As we embark on this new chapter, we extend a gentle invitation to our local oil and gas companies in the region. Your contributions in the form of delivering and/ or attending technical talks can further enrich our collective knowledge and benefit the entire industry. Together, we can continue to grow and thrive in this dynamic field, making the Great Yarmouth SPE Section a hub of excellence in Norwich and beyond.
