Framework of Resilient Transmission Network Reconfiguration Considering Cyber-Attacks
Abstract
Fast and reliable transmission network reconfiguration is critical in improving power grid resilience to cyber-attacks. If the network reconfiguration following cyber-attacks is imperfect, secondary incidents may delay or interrupt post-attack restoration of the power grid. This paper proposes a framework of resilient transmission network reconfiguration, taking into account the impacts of cyber-attacks in the network reconfiguration process. First, the mechanism of cyber-attack propagation is analyzed based on the characteristics of network reconfiguration. Second, systematic resilience indices are specially extracted in which the impact of cyber-attacks on network reconfiguration is quantified. These indices are defined in terms of the restoration characteristics of the transmission power system. Third, representative cyber-attack incidents motivate an optimization-based model of resilient transmission network reconfiguration, and an optimal reconstruction scheme is obtained. Finally, simulation results based on the IEEE 39-bus system verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework in enhancing power grid resilience to cyber-attacks.
