Abstract
This article proposes a cyberattack-resilient secondary frequency control (SFC) scheme for a stand-alone microgrid (MG) system. The proposed scheme is based on a hybrid system that employs an unknown input observer for state estimation, cyberattack detection and reconstruction, and a Type-2 fuzzy logic system for minimization of frequency deviation that may be caused by cyberattacks on the MG system. A cyberattack on the MG’s frequency measurement disrupts the operation of the SFC system and eventually compromises the frequency stability of the MG. The proposed approach shows an accurate estimation of the MG states and maintains the frequency of the MG within operating limits during various cyberattack scenarios. The practicability of the proposed hybrid scheme is validated using the Speedgoat real-time digital system simulator.
