Data-Driven Cyber-Resilient Control of Wide Area Power Systems

With the uptake of advanced communication technologies, monitoring and operation of power systems have been experiencing a paradigm shift. Many centralized algorithms can now be implemented in a distributed scheme. For example, local decisions can make faster actions resulting in a resilient power grid. Despite these advantages, these communication networks have made power networks vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Therefore, only attack-resilient algorithms can be reliably implemented using these technologies. In this chapter, a Data-Driven Cyber-Resilient Control (DDCRC) method is proposed for the frequency stability of wide area power grids. In the proposed method, the automatic generation control signals are generated without using a predefined model such that the frequency stability of the power system in the presence of Deception Attacks (DA) is guaranteed. Simulation results on a three-area power grid show the efficiency and superiority of the proposed method.
