Abstract:   (2482 Views)
Kalman filtering has been widely considered for dynamic state estimation in smart grids. Despite its unique merits, the Kalman Filter (KF)-based dynamic state estimation can be undesirably influenced by cyber adversarial attacks that can potentially be launched against the communication links in the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). To enhance the security of KF-based state estimation, in this paper, the basic KF-based method is enhanced by incorporating the dynamics of the attack vector into the system state-space model using an observer-based preprocessing stage. The proposed technique not only immunizes the state estimation against cyber-attacks but also effectively handles the issues relevant to the modeling uncertainties and measurement noises/errors. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by detailed mathematical analysis and testing it on two well-known IEEE cyber-physical test systems.

  • The problem of the power system dynamic state estimation under cyber-attacks is studied in this paper.
  • A unique feature of the proposed method is its ability in the estimation of the attack vector.
  • By obtaining the dynamics of the attack vector using an unknown input observer, a new augmented system model is derived in this paper.
  • The effects of cyber-attacks, modeling uncertainties, and modeling noises are decoupled and separately considered in the proposed approach, which increases the estimation accuracy.
  • Detail mathematical analysis and several simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
