Distributed Coordination LFC Approach for Interconnected Power Systems Under Detection and Compensation Mechanism Targeting DoS Attacks

Abstract

A distributed coordination load frequency control (LFC) approach is proposed for interconnected power systems, and a detection and compensation mechanism targeting denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is designed in this work. Firstly, different from traditional LFC, a hybrid-type distributed control strategy is proposed, which takes full advantage of local control information and coordination control information. Then, for discovering DoS attacks timely, a feasible detection algorithm targeting DoS attacks is presented. Furthermore, in order to weaken the harm of cyber-attacks, a triggered-type compensation mechanism for control data is proposed. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, a stability criterion with an <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H_{\infty }$</tex-math></inline-formula> performance index is developed. At last, the feasibility of detection and compensation mechanism targeting DoS attacks and the effectiveness of proposed control approach are demonstrated by presenting contrastive illustrative examples.
