A Resilient Control Framework for Enhancing Cyber-Security in Microgrids

Microgrid security has become a critical concern due to the increasing reliance on communication technologies and a rising incidence of cyber-threats. While various attack detection and resilient control mechanisms have been developed to fortify microgrid defenses, most research still focuses on simplistic attack scenarios, often ignoring the complex interactions between multiple distributed generators within microgrids. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes a resilient secure control framework capable of addressing cyber-threats across multiple locations within a microgrid. The framework integrates state observations, robust control strategies, and time-varying graph theory to construct a robust defense mechanism. Simulation results are presented to validate the practicality and effectiveness of this approach, confirming its potential to enhance security for future microgrid against cyber-attacks.
