Resilient Cooperative Control of DC Microgrids

Abstract

Existing cooperative control of DC microgrids rely on a communication network that makes them vulnerable to cyber attacks. A trust-based cooperative controller is proposed that can mitigate adverse effects of attacks on communication links and controller hijacking. It only requires local and neighbor information to detect and mitigate an attack. The proposed solution is evaluated using a hardware-in-the-loop setup under different types of attack.
