Denial-of-Service (dos) attacks on load frequency control in smart grids
Abstract
While open communication infrastructures are embedded into smart grids to support vast amounts of data exchange, it makes smart grids vulnerable to cyber attacks. In this paper, we investigate the effects of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on load frequency control (LFC) of smart grids. In contrast with existing works, we consider the problem that how DoS attacks affect the dynamic performance of a power system. The state space model of power systems under DoS attacks is formulated as a switched system. By applying switched system theories, the existence of DoS attacks that make the dynamics of a power system unstable is proved. A two-area power system is used to conduct case studies. The dynamic performance of the power system, such as convergence and steady-state errors, is compared under different DoS attack scenarios. It is shown that the dynamic performance of the power system is affected strongly if the adversaries launch DoS attacks before the dynamics of the power system converge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
