Resilient distributed control strategies in microgrids against cyber attacks

Microgrids rely on cyber networks in their monitoring and control systems. This poses significant challenges in terms of cybersecurity in microgrids. This chapter addresses this problem by the design of a resilient cooperative distributed control system for DC microgrids that are resilient to stealthy false data injection (FDI) cyberattacks, which adversely impact the data integrity of the control systems and the communication networks, while simultaneously remaining undetected by anomaly detection algorithms. The chapter also reviews some of the recent scientific contributions in the resilient control systems for DC microgrids and discusses some of the research challenges in this area.
