Barrier-Function Adaptive Finite-Time Trajectory Tracking Controls for Cyber Resilience in Smart Grids Under an Electricity Market Environment

The advancement and proliferation of digitalization and communication infrastructure have facilitated the rise of real-time bidding markets in smart grids.In these dynamic markets, energy distribution companies and power-generating companies interact to establish energy exchange contracts based on offered prices.However, the fluctuation in power flow resulting from contract changes within the real-time bidding market introduces a potential vulnerability that malicious attackers can exploit to launch successful stealthy attacks.To enhance the smart grid resiliency against cyberattack in the power market bidding environment, a new barrierfunction adaptive finite-time trajectory tracking control is proposed in this paper.The developed controller is utilized to actively counteract and mitigate potential cyber-attacks to ensure their rejection and prevention.The stability analysis convincingly demonstrates the rapid convergence of system states within a finite time frame, empowering the system to effectively reject cyber-attacks in real-time.Test results of an IEEE test systems considering governor dead bound nonlinearity and communication time delay are presented and compared with those obtained from other methods to ensure and demonstrate the performance of proposed method.
