For battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in islanded AC microgrids, distributed control strategy provides an effective and flexible means to implement frequency restoration, proportional active power sharing and state of charge (SoC) balancing. Nevertheless, the distributed control system is susceptible to potential cyber attacks that break the synchronization and stability. To mitigate those effects, this paper presents an attack-resilient distributed adaptive secondary control for heterogeneous BESSs in islanded AC microgrids. The proposed control method can guarantee the consensuses on BESSs’ frequency, active power and SoC simultaneously in the presence of actuator attacks, which only uses the local and neighbor’s information. Specifically, the resilience is improved significantly by introducing the dynamic control gains with adaptive updating laws. Furthermore, the stability analysis is applied to assure the robustness. Lastly, the effectiveness of the above discussed conclusions is validated and compared by case studies on an islanded AC microgrid testing system.
