Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an architecture that facilitates the feasibility of the distributed control of the modernized industrial systems mainly through the Internet of Things and cloud computing. This article proposes an optimal scheduling framework for the real-time operation of smart microgrids in the IIoT environment using an average consensus-based algorithm. The introduced framework suggests a fog layer as a complementary layer of IIoT to reduce latency and provide local computation and data storage for the proposed industry. Security of the system against probable attacks is the other concern that should be observed. To this end, this article sets out to evaluate the impact of a particular type of attack called the denial of service on the performance of the proposed method. Accuracy, feasibility, and fast response of the scheme are demonstrated through simulation results on a microgrid test system in the presence of dispatchable and nondispatchable generation units with heterogeneous devices.
