Estimation of False Data Injection Attacks for Load Frequency Control Systems
Abstract False data injection attacks (FDIAs) against the load frequency control (LFC) system can lead to unstable operation of power systems. In this paper, the estimation problem of the FDIAs for the LFC system in the presence of external disturbances is investigated. The LFC system model under FDIAs against frequency and tie-line power measurements is established. Then an attack estimation scheme combining the attack observer (AO) and technique is proposed to minimize the effect of external disturbance on estimation errors. The uniform boundedness of the state and attack estimation errors is proved using Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, a two-area interconnected power system is simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed attack estimation algorithms.
