Distributed Control for AC Microgrids with False Data Injection Attacks and Time Delays

Distributed control is widely used in AC microgrids to maintain frequency and voltage stability and internal power balance. However, distributed control need realizes information interaction through communication network, which makes microgrid vulnerable to network attack. A distributed control strategy based on consensus theory is proposed in this paper to enhance the resilience of microgrid to attack. An attack detection and localization method is designed for the false data injection attack. The Artstein’s transformation is introduced to process the delay data and the performance of controller under delay can be enhanced. An isolated island AC microgrid model was built in Simulink platform for simulation to verify the performance of the controller. The simulation results verified the effectiveness of the control strategy against false data injection attack and time delay.
