Combined cyberattack detection and mitigation studies on load frequency control

The extended application of communication networks in modern power systems has made power systems vulnerable to cyberattacks. These attacks target the operation of the power system and may bring about major problems, such as blackouts and tampering with smart meter readings. In this project, a comprehensive control scheme will be proposed to detect and mitigate combined false data injection (FDI) and denial of service (DoS) attacks. The performance of the proposed control scheme will be investigated by implementing the small-signal model of a multiple microgrids system consisting of different elements, such as renewables, conventional resources, electronic-based loads, and constant power loads in MATLAB/Simulink.
