Dynamic Event-Triggered H∞ Load Frequency Control for Multi-Area Power Systems Subject to Hybrid Cyber Attacks

Abstract

This article aims at designing a dynamic event-triggered H∞ load frequency controller for multi-area power systems affected by false data-injection attacks and denial-of-service attacks. A dynamic event-triggered scheme, whose threshold parameter varies with objective system states, is employed to make rational use of limited network bandwidth resources and improve the efficiency of the data utilization. Then, taking the impacts of the aforementioned hybrid cyber attacks into consideration, an attractive system model is established. Whereafter, several sufficient conditions, which can guarantee the exponential mean-square stability with a preset H∞ performance index of the studied system, are obtained through utilizing Lyapunov stability theory. Additionally, the desired controller is designed via handling convex optimization problems. Finally, a simulation example is displayed to explain the validity of the proposed method.
