Cyber Security of Power System Control Methods
The widespread adoption of components with communication capabilities and internet-connectivity in power systems have increased the vulnerability of those power systems to damaging and potentially dangerous cyber-attacks . New methods are required to rapidly and accurately detect attacks and protect control systems . |
Competitive Advantage • Detailed modelling of the dynamics of power systems across the essential timescales required
• Expertise in the application of nonlinear systems theory for the detection of attacks on power control systems
• An experienced , interdisciplinary and collaborative research team with a proven track record in the fusion of electrical power engineering and control techniques
• Broad applicability to conventional central grids , as well as grid-connected and islanded microgrids
Impact • A control theory approach to assessing cybersecurity threats reduces uncertainty
