Attacking the Risks to Our Energy Systems

A Cohesive Approach to Energy Security


We are dedicated to developing a multi-sector systems architecture for the U.S. energy grid to withstand disruption from cyber or physical attack or natural hazards.

The Center for Resilient Energy Security Systems (CRESS) is a national consortium of academic, industry, and federal enterprise partners dedicated to the security and resilience of the nation’s energy systems.

Our Approach

Collage of energy sources including wind turbine, nuclear power plant, transmission tower, and oil refinery.

Our unique approach will address a lack of systems integration in energy source transition, grid demand, distributed energy, and hazardous and explosive materials, through a cohesive overlay of expertise in energy systems security with disciplinary experts in key energy technology areas:

  • Secure Interconnected Systems Architecture
  • Design and Operation for Resiliency and Agility
  • Disruptive Supply Management
  • Secure Physical Infrastructure
  • Adaptive Demand Management
  • Energy Policy
