Abstract:
In this study, a bandwidth allocation-based distributed event-triggering load frequency control (LFC) has been developed for smart grids to deal with hybrid cyber-attacks, for example, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and false data injection (FDI) attacks. Firstly, to prevent hybrid cyber-attacks from causing open-loop unstable operation of the LFC systems, we propose a distributed event-triggering communication (ETC) strategy. To attain the maximum usage of bandwidth, a dynamic bandwidth allocation mechanism is integrated with the ETC approach on the basis of resource availability and error between the current state and equilibrium state. This bandwidth reservation and allocation approach aim at detecting attacks and assigning bandwidth to the different channels of distribution networks. Then, by virtue of the Lyapunov approach, the exponential stability criteria are established. Further, the exclusion of Zeno behavior of the designed systems is proved during the control process. Finally, comprehensive case studies show that the proposed method can improve the utilization rate of the network resource.
