A Novel IGDT-Based Method to Find the Most Susceptible Points of Cyberattack Impacting Operating Costs of VSC-Based Microgrids

This article proposes a novel mathematical approach to deal with cyberattacks (CAs) impacting on modernized microgrid's (MMG) tertiary control. MMGs use many entities based voltage-source converters form the fully integrated power and energy system (FIPES). Having such for necessitates engineers considering cybersecurity addressing its effects from beginning of designing building systems. Using innovative tools information gap decision theory (also known as IGDT), this research incorporates data integrity attacks into controls FIPES MMGs. The proposed methodology [named CA-tolerant control (CT 2 C) herein] is able effectively find most susceptible points CA (PoCA) in when both severe negligible uncertainties caused by CAs take place. They are include ones (or undetectable attacks). Here, vulnerable PoCA cause impactful changes control's principal objective, which minimizing operating cost whole In regard, describes hypothesis, supporting that, comparative simulation results given. outcomes generated general algebraic modeling (commonly GAMS) environment provide researchers appropriate maps sensitive PoCA. CT C, investments will be more accurate and, importantly, mathematically optimized. Finally, potential ways implement elaborated.
