Cyber Security and Digital Economy: Opportunities, Growth and Challenges

Ashish Juneja — 2024-05-20

The digital age has witnessed the exponential growth of the international economy, propelled by digital technology and the deepening interconnectedness of the global landscape. However, amidst this rapid expansion lies a plethora of Cyber Security (CS) risks within the Digital Economy (DE), ranging from hacker assaults to data breaches and intellectual property theft. The heightened importance of CS resonates across organizations, nations, and individuals worldwide. This study delves into the dynamics of development and expansion within the DE while concurrently addressing the looming threats to CS. Central to its analysis is the imperative of implementing efficient CS protocols, encompassing preventive measures, detection strategies, and swift response mechanisms against online threats. Moreover, the discourse extends to strategies for enhancing CS resilience through investments in infrastructure, capacity building initiatives, and public awareness campaigns, involving both corporate entities and governmental bodies. Furthermore, this research probes into the intricate interplay between cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) and their impact on CS. While these technologies hold immense potential to revolutionize the DE landscape, they concurrently introduce novel security vulnerabilities that malicious actors may exploit. In conclusion, the study underscores that while the DE offers boundless opportunities for development and innovation, robust CS measures stand as indispensable safeguards against online threats, ensuring the sustained viability and integrity of the sector in the long term.

The Advancements in Modeling, Estimation Techniques, and Fault Analysis in Solar Photovoltaic Systems: A Comprehensive Review

Manju — 2024-06-10

Advanced monitoring necessitates employing fault diagnostics in solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems, as these diagnostics can alert users to potential catastrophic failures or heightened risks. Analyzing various flaws in photovoltaic systems is essential because these defects can cause energy shortfalls, system malfunctions, and fire hazards, which are often challenging to avert. To provide green and clean energy through solar power, this work aims to enhance efficiency by conducting further research. This includes modeling the Solar Photovoltaic system, estimating its parameters, and examining the different types of Solar Photovoltaic failures.

Unleashing India's Solar Potential: A Review of the National Solar Mission and the Path to Sustainable Energy in India

Mubarak Musa Umar — 2024-06-16

India possesses vast potential for generating clean energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES), specifically hydro, wind, and solar. This potential has been appropriately recognized, indicating India's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint as a developing nation. The significance of this endeavor is becoming increasingly evident worldwide. The objectives of this review study are to provide an overview of the abundant solar energy resources in India, including availability, current status, strategies, perspectives, challenges, achievements, and future prospects. The review study examines the Government of India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), launched in 2009 to promote clean energy. This mission, initiated on January 11, 2010, is one of the eight missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC–2008). The JNNSM aims to deploy 22,000 MW of solar power through grid-connected and off-grid solar power plants. The review results show that as of August 2023, India has achieved a cumulative installed solar power capacity of 63,000 MW, exceeding the initial target of 22,000 MW set under the JNNSM. The country has seen a significant increase in solar energy deployment, with an average annual growth rate of 18% over the past five years. India's solar energy potential is estimated to be around 750 GW, indicating vast untapped resources. The review study recommends that India should continue to strengthen its policy and regulatory frameworks, incentivize private sector participation, and invest in research and development to further harness its solar energy potential. Addressing challenges related to grid integration, storage, and financing will be crucial for the sustainable growth of the solar energy sector in India.
