Abstract:
The Microgrid allows for more efficient and lower-cost power provisions, and is therefore more flexible than traditional power ecosystems. However, the increasingly integrated nature of these systems into network and internet-connected IT systems also potentially makes them susceptible to cyber-attack. This paper examined different challenges related to the cyber attacks threatening wireless microgrid systems from the experimental view. Wireless communication and transmission methods are widely used for secondary control of energy re-sources. However, there are risks of cyber attacks during the communication process, such as Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. This paper reports the investigation of potential cyber attacks on wireless communications of microgrid systems. Furthermore, this paper evaluates the practical impacts of cybersecurity breaches targeting microgrid systems, with special attention to those in Australia. In brief, the main goal of this paper is to enhance the mitigation countermeasures for cyber attacks linked to wireless microgrid systems, thus guaranteeing reliable wireless communications within these systems.
