Background

  • Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks pose a significant threat to the secure operation of multiarea load frequency control (LFC) systems.
  • Existing event-triggered control mechanisms may be vulnerable to cyberattacks, compromising system stability.
  • Software-defined networking (SDN) offers a flexible framework for implementing advanced control and security strategies.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To propose an active defense strategy against DoS attacks for secure event-triggered control of multiarea LFC systems.
  • To introduce a novel interval secure event-triggered mechanism (ISETM) that integrates cybersecurity with event-triggered control.
  • To ensure secure and delayed triggering transmission within an SDN framework.

Main Methods

  • Development of the ISETM, which generates a triggering instant and a secure triggering interval (STI) using Taylor expansion and model-based prediction.
  • Modeling the multiarea LFC system as a delay system under ISETM conditions, incorporating triggering errors.
  • Derivation of a performance criterion using the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method.
  • Application of linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques for solving ISETM control (ISETC) gains via a codesign approach.

Main Results

  • The proposed ISETM effectively integrates event-triggered control with cybersecurity under SDN.
  • The STI estimation ensures delayed but secure triggering transmission by programming OpenFlow switches to filter attack traffic.
  • The derived performance criterion and LMI-based codesign approach facilitate the achievement of desired LFC system performance.
  • Simulations validated the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed active defense strategy.

Conclusions

  • The novel ISETM provides a robust solution for secure event-triggered control in multiarea LFC systems facing DoS attacks.
  • The integration of SDN and cybersecurity mechanisms within the ISETM enhances system resilience and reliability.
  • The proposed method demonstrates significant advantages in ensuring secure and stable operation of power grids.

Load-frequency control (LFC) is vital for maintaining power system stability, ensuring that frequency and power flows remain within acceptable limits during load changes. Turbine-governor control eliminates rotor accelerations and decelerations following load changes. However, a steady-state frequency error persists when the change in the turbine-governor reference setting is zero. In an interconnected power system, each area agrees to export or import a scheduled amount of power through...

Radial System Protection 01:23

Radial systems employ time-delay overcurrent relays to reduce load interruptions. When a fault occurs, the nearest breaker opens first, while upstream breakers remain closed due to longer delay settings. This approach ensures minimal disruption to the rest of the system.
In a radial system with a fault downstream of the third breaker, ideally, only the third breaker will open, isolating the fault and interrupting the load connected beyond it. The second breaker has a longer delay setting,...

Automatic circuit reclosers enhance the protection of distribution circuits by interrupting and auto-reclosing an AC circuit according to a preset sequence. They effectively manage temporary faults on overhead distribution lines, often caused by tree limbs or wildlife, by briefly disrupting service to improve overall reliability. However, contact with reclosers or energized broken conductors on the ground can pose serious hazards.

Coordinating time-delay overcurrent relays in complex radial systems and directional overcurrent relays in multi-source transmission loops can be challenging. Impedance relays address these issues by responding to the voltage-to-current ratio, specifically measuring the apparent impedance of a line. These relays become more sensitive during faults as current increases and voltage decreases, thereby reducing the apparent impedance.
Under normal conditions, low load currents keep the measured...
