Abstract

We propose a novel framework for secure and reliable authentication of Distributed Energy Resources to the centralized secondary/tertiary control system of a DC MicroGrid (MG), networked using the IEEE 802.11 wireless interface. The key idea is to perform the authentication using power talk - a powerline communication technique executed by the primary control loops of the power electronic converters. In addition, the scheme also promotes direct and active participation of the control system in the authentication process, a feature not commonly encountered in current networked control systems for MicroGrids. The PLECS®-based simulations verifies the viability of the proposed solution.
