Detection and Mitigation of Cyber Attacks on Voltage Stability Monitoring of Smart Grids

Abstract

This paper investigates the possible cyber-physical attacks on voltage stability monitoring of a power transmission system. By considering a smart adversary that can launch a vector attack based on power flow equations, conventional voltage stability monitoring systems based on voltage stability indexes will fail to detect the instability issue. This can mislead the Power System Operator (PSO) to take inappropriate corrective action. In order to prevent and to combat such a malicious attack, a new indicator for efficient intrusion detection and a novel mitigation algorithm is proposed. This proposed detection algorithm employs the multi-port equivalent circuit of the power system to calculate the Thevenin Equivalent (TE) parameters. These TE parameters are then used to calculate an indicator, which reveals the attack on Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data. The proposed mitigation scheme then helps PSO to detect which PMU is under-attack. Furthermore, the amount of injected attack vectors is computed or estimated depending on the number of compromised PMUs. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is demonstrated via illustrative case studies.
