The Impact

 The denial-of-service (DoS) attacks block the communications of the power grids, which affects the availability of the measurement data for monitoring and control. In order to reduce the impact of DoS attacks on measurement data, it is essential to predict missing measurement data. Predicting technique with measurement data depends on the correlation between measurement data. However, it is impractical to install phasor measurement units (PMUs) on all buses owing to the high cost of PMU installment. This paper initializes the study on the impact of PMU placement on predicting measurement data. Considering the data availability, this paper proposes a scheme for predicting states using the LSTM network while ensuring system observability by optimizing phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement. The optimized PMU placement is obtained by integer programming with the criterion of the node importance and the cost of PMU deployment. There is a strong correlation between the measurement data corresponding to the optimal PMU placement. A Long-Short Term Memory neural network (LSTM) is proposed to learn the strong correlation among PMUs, which is utilized to predict the unavailable measured data of the attacked PMUs. The proposed method is verified on an IEEE 118-bus system, and the advantages compared with some conventional methods are also illustrated.

The Impact

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) is widely used in many industrial and people's life applications, such as earth monitoring, natural disaster prevention, agriculture biomedical related applications, and many other areas. Security threat is one of the major aspects of MANET, as it is one of the basic requirements of wireless sensor network, yet this problem has not been sufficiently explored. The main purpose of this paper is to study different MANETs routing protocols with three scenarios of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on network layer using proactive routing protocol i.e. Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) and Reactive routing protocols like Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Hybrid routing protocols like Geographic Routing Protocol (GRP). Moreover, a comparative analysis of DoS attacks for throughput, Data loss, delay and network load is taken into account. The performance of MANET under the attack is studied to find out which protocol is more vulnerable to the attack and how much is the impact of the attack on both protocols. The simulation is done using OPNET 17.

This paper proposes a technique to determine the possible optimal placement of the phasor measurement unit (PMU) in power grids for normal operating conditions. All possible combinations of PMU placement, including infeasible combinations, are typically considered in finding the optimal solution, which could be a massive search space. An integer search algorithm called the bounded search technique is introduced to reduce the search space in solving a minimum number of PMU allocations whilst maintaining full system observability. The proposed technique is based on connectivity and symmetry constraints that can be derived from the observability matrix. As the technique is coupled with the exhaustive technique, the technique is called the bounded exhaustive search (BES) technique. Several IEEE test systems, namely, IEEE 9-bus, IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 24-bus and IEEE 30-bus, are considered to showcase the performance of the proposed technique. An initial Monte Carlo simulation was carried out to evaluate the capability of the bounded search technique in providing a smaller feasible search space. The effectiveness of the BES technique in terms of computational time is compared with the existing exhaustive technique. Results demonstrate that the search space can be reduced tremendously, and the computational burden can be eased, when finding the optimal PMU placement in power grids.

Pmu Placement

A phasor measurement unit (PMU) can provide phasor measurements to the distribution network to improve observability. Based on pre-configuration and existing measurements, a network compression method is proposed to reduce PMU candidate locations. Taking the minimum number of PMUs and the lowest state estimation error as the objective functions and taking full observability of distribution network as the constraint, a multi objective model of optimal PMU placement (OPP) is proposed. A hybrid state estimator based on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and PMU measurements is proposed. To reduce the number of PMUs required for full observability, SCADA measurement data are also considered into the constraint by update and equivalent. In addition, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is applied to solve the model to get the Pareto set. Finally, the optimal solution is selected from the Pareto set by the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by IEEE standard bus systems.

Installation Cost

Real time synchronized phasor measurement in power network is obtained by the improvement in monitoring, control and, protection of the power system. In recent time, the installation ratio of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) is constantly increasing for the real time measurement throughout worldwide. The increment in the number of PMU installation is to only focus on the improvement of system state estimation (SE) performance. However, the expensive nature of the metering device requires huge amount of installation cost with the other communication facilities, therefore an optimal placement of PMU is necessary. Different techniques have been designed and used to overcome this matter. The paper presents numerous optimization algorithms such as, Mathematical programming, Heuristic, and Meta-Heuristic techniques which are specially used for the optimization of PMU placement with complete network observability. Furthermore, each PMU technique is explained, and performances are compared for the most appropriate and optimal placement of PMU methods, which can be recommended for a future work to get complete network observability.

Концепция программно-конфигурируемых сетей (SDN) стремительно набирает популярность в управлении сетевой инфраструктурой центров обработки данных и операторов связи. К её ключевым функциям относятся мониторинг, детальное управление, гибкость и масштабируемость. Но вместе с тем, централизованное управление SDN делает его уязвимым для различных типов атак, таких как спуфинг и отказ в обслуживании (DoS). DoS-атаки оказывают наиболее серьезное воздействие, поскольку они снижают производительность сети из-за перегрузки ее различных компонентов, то есть контроллера, коммутатора и канала управления. Существующие подходы справляются с DoS-атаками в SDN либо путем отбрасывания вредоносных пакетов, либо путем объединения правил потока, что приводит к потерям легитимного трафика. Для уменьшения последствий DoS-атак в этой статье предлагается использование механизма многоуровневой справедливой очереди, который обеспечивает совместное использование ресурсов контроллера с несколькими уровнями очередей, которые могут динамически расширяться и агрегироваться в зависимости от загруженности сети. Предлагаемый подход оценивается путем сравнения его с базовым контроллером SDN. Результаты моделирования показывают, что предлагаемый подход увеличивает производительность SDN с точки зрения использования пропускной способности канала управления. The concept of Software Defined Networking (SDN) is rapidly gaining popularity in the management of the network infrastructure of data centers and telecom operators. Its key functions include monitoring, granular control, flexibility and scalability. But at the same time, the centralized management of SDN makes it vulnerable to various types of attacks, such as spoofing and denial of service (DoS). DoS attacks have the most serious impact because they degrade network performance by overloading various components such as the controller, switch, and control channel. Existing approaches deal with SDN DoS attacks either by dropping malicious packets or by combining flow rules, which leads to the loss of legitimate traffic. To mitigate the impact of DoS attacks, this article proposes the use of a tiered fair queuing mechanism, which allows the sharing of controller resources with multiple queue tiers that can dynamically expand and aggregate based on network congestion. The proposed approach is evaluated by comparing it to a basic SDN controller. Simulation results show that the proposed approach increases SDN performance in terms of control channel bandwidth utilization.

This study presents the phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement strategy in the presence of false data injection attacks which is one of the most serious security threats against power grid. It is focused on applications related to supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems where measurement data can be easily corrupted by adversaries without getting caught by the system. To safeguard power grids against malicious attacks, procedures have been proposed to facilitate the placement of secure PMUs to defend against false data injection attacks in a highly cost-effective way. It has formulated a method of identifying measurements that are vulnerable to false data injection attacks. It was discovered that a weak power grid can be transformed into a robust power grid by adding a few PMUs at vulnerable locations. Simulations on the IEEE standard test systems demonstrate the benefits of the proposed procedure.

Recent developments in electrical power systems are concerned not only with static power flow control but also with their control during dynamic processes. Smart Grids came into being when it was noticed that the traditional electrical power system structure was lacking in reliability, power flow control, and consistency in the monitoring of phasor quantities. The Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is one of the main critical factors for Smart Grid (SG) operation. It has the ability to provide real-time synchronized measurement of phasor quantities with the help of a Global Positioning System (GPS). However, when considering the installation costs of a PMU device, it is far too expensive to equip on every busbar in all grid stations. Therefore, this paper proposes a new approach for the Optimum Placement of the PMU problem (OPP problem) to minimize the installed number of PMUs and maximize the measurement redundancy of the network. Exclusion of the unwanted nodes technique is used in the proposed approach, in which only the most desirable buses consisting of generator bus and load bus are selected, without considering Pure Transit Nodes (PTNs) in the optimum PMU placement sets. The focal point of the proposed work considers, most importantly, the case factor of the exclusion technique of PTNs from the optimum PMU locations, as prior approaches concerning almost every algorithm have taken PTNs as their optimal PMU placement sets. Furthermore, other case factors of the proposed approach, namely, PMU channel limits, radial bus, and single PMU outage, are also considered for the OPP problem. The proposed work is tested on standard Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE)-case studies from MATPOWER on the MATLAB software. To show the success of the proposed work, the outputs are compared with the existing techniques.
