Resilient Adaptive Event-Triggered Load Frequency Control of Network-Based Power Systems against Deception Attacks

This paper investigates the problem of networked load frequency control (LFC) of power systems (PSs) against deception attacks. To lighten the load of the communication network, a new adaptive event-triggered scheme (ETS) is developed on the premise of maintaining a certain control performance of LFC systems. Compared with the existing ETSs, the proposed adaptive ETS can adjust the number of triggering packets, along with the state changes in the presence of deception attacks, which can reduce the average data-releasing rate. In addition, sufficient conditions can be derived, providing a trade-off between the limited network communication resources and the desired control performance of PSs. Finally, an application case is presented for the PSs to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach.
