The work presented in this chapter is an extension of our previous research of bringing together the Cognitive Dynamic System (CDS) and the Smart Grid (SG) by focusing on AC state estimation and Cyber-Attack detection. Under the AC power flow model, state estimation is complex and computationally expensive as it relies on iterative procedures. On the other hand, the False Data Injection (FDI) attacks are a new category of cyber-attacks targeting the SG that can bypass the current bad data detection techniques in the SG. Due to the complexity of the nonlinear system involved, the amount of published works on AC based FDI attacks have been fewer compared to their DC counterpart. Here, we will demonstrate how the entropic state, which is the objective function of the CDS, can be used as a metric to monitor the grid’s health and detect FDI attacks. The CDS, acting as the supervisor of the system, improves the entropic state on a cycle to cycle basis by dynamically optimizing the state estimation process through the reconfiguration of the weights of the sensors in the network. In order to showcase performance of this new structure, computer simulations are carried out on the IEEE 14-bus system for optimal state estimation and FDI attack detection.

Taking into account Smart Grid creation, cyber security appears as critical problem. In spite of wide set of technical tools and organisational decisions, which use for protection of electrical objects against cyber attacks, it is impossible to prevent them completely. Therefore, the ability of Smart Grid to resist cyber attacks is important and necessary property. Thus, the cyber resilience is ability of complicate technical-information system to keep operable state under contingencies including cyber attacks. This paper deals with general problem of electric power system resilience and its cyber resilience, determination methods to calculate quantitative measure of Smart Grid resilience. The state estimation software resilience under cyber attacks is discussed.


Load flow is the main issue which occurs in power grid systems. To improve the performance, reduce the cost and enhance the reliability in power systems, smart grids have been proposed. In electricity distribution system, smart devices like smart meters are used for effective performance. The real concern in these devices is to protect the data from unauthorized parties and noise occurring in data. Smart device reader acts as the bridge which connects the smart grid devices with smart grid clouds. In many of the instances of circuit-based analysis, the network parts are restricted to the regarded value of impedances with voltage and current resource. But the issue of load flow is usually diverse in the sense that rather of impedances, the known amounts are active and reactive powers in most of the network buses, since the performance of most of the load in a great deal of instances are as continuous power loads, presuming that voltages used on them stay within suitable ranges. There are various methods which are used to solve these problems. Kalman filters are proposed to achieve the optimal performance on the smart grid devices. This filter identifies the device failures, unusual disturbance, and malicious data attacks. Kalman Filter is a dynamic state estimation method which is mainly used in this paper for noise variation estimation. The use of dynamic state estimation methods such as the Kalman filter provides an optimal solution to the process of real-time data prediction and reduces the problem based on non-linearity. The analysis of real-time data depends on Phasor Measuring Units (PMU) which plays a significant role in power transmission and distribution processes due to their ability to monitor the power flow within a network. The process of PMU-based monitoring improves the quality of the smart grid. Simultaneously, the implementation of PMU increases the dynamics of noise variance which further inflates the uncertainty in noise-based distribution. This paper presents a method to reduce the amount of uncertainty in noise by using a linear quadratic estimation method (LQE), usually known as Kalman filter along with Taylor expansion series but this process is time-consuming and is vulnerable to a large number of errors at the time of testing. The main reason behind this approach is the high complexity of the system which makes it very hard to derive the process. The proposed studies adopts a technique to work on covariance earlier based estimation using Bayesian method together with the estimation of dynamic polynomial prior by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The experimental evaluation compares the outcomes received from the primary Kalman filter, PSO optimized Kalman filter out and Kalman filter Covariance Bayesian method. Finally, the effects received from the analysis highlights the truth that the PSO optimized Kalman clear out to be more effective than the Kalman filter out with Covariance Bayesian approach

State Estimation is a traditional and reliable technique within power distribution and control systems. It is used for building a topology of the power grid network based on state measurements and current operational state of different nodes & buses. The protection of sensors and measurement units such as Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) in Central Energy Management System (CEMS) against False Data Injection Attacks (FDIAs) is a big concern to grid operators. These are special kind of cyber-attacks that are directed towards the state & measurement data in such a way that mislead the CEMS into making incorrect decisions and create generation load imbalance. These are known to bypass the traditional bad data detection systems within central estimators. This paper presents the use of an additional novel state estimator based on Kalman filter along with traditional Distributed State Estimation (DSE) which is based on Weighted Least Square (WLS). Kalman filter is a feedback control mechanism that constantly updates itself based on state prediction and state correction technique and shows improvement in the estimates. The additional estimator output is compared with the results of DSE in order to identify anomalies and injection of false data. We evaluated our methodology by simulating proposed technique using MATPOWER over IEEE-14, IEEE-30, IEEE-118, IEEE-300 bus. The results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over traditional state estimation.
