Abstract

While open communication infrastructures are embedded into multi-area power systems to support data transmittion, it make communication channels vulnerable to cyber attacks, reliability of power systems is affected. This paper studies the load frequency control (LFC) of multi-area power systems under DoS attacks. The state space model of power systems under DoS attacks is formulated, where event-triggered control scheme is integrated for the multi-area power systems under DoS attacks. By utilizing average dwell time design approach, exponential stability and \(L_2\)-gain of the multi-area power systems can be obtained for event-triggered LFC scheme under DoS attacks, if choosing an unavailability rate of communication channels for DoS attacks properly. Finally, the example shows that the convergences of frequency deviation of three-area power systems are compared under different DoS attack scenarios, when the proportion of the total time of DoS attacks can obtain the result properly.
