Preventive Dispatch Strategy against FDIA Induced Overloads in Power Systems with High Wind Penetration

Abstract

The penetration of renewable energy generations, e.g., wind power, not only introduces the randomness and fluctuations into power system operations but also increases the possibilities of cybersecurity issues. Among them, false data injection attack (FDIA) can access and falsify the readings of smart meters, which would impede the functionalities of power systems. In this paper, we first set up an evaluation model to identify the set of high-risk lines by investigating the relationship between FDIA and wind power uncertainty. Then, for a power system with a high wind penetration, a tri-level preventive dispatch strategy is proposed to ensure the system security even under the worst-case of FDIA. It is demonstrated that the impacts of FDIA can cause more serious security issues as the wind penetration level increases. The effectiveness of the proposed tri-level preventive dispatch strategy in mitigating the FDIA caused overloading risk is validated using the IEEE 118-bus system.
