The fault detection method (FDM) plays a crucial role in controlling and operating microgrids (MGs), because it allows for systems to rapidly isolate and restore faults. Due to the fact that MGs use inverter-interfaced distributed production, conventional FDMs are no longer appropriate because they are dependent on substantial fault currents. This study presents a smart FDM for MGs based on the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) and deep neural networks (DNNs). The suggested layout aims to prepare the fast detection of fault kind, phase, and place data to protect MGs and restore services. The HHT pre-processes the branch current measurements obtained from the protective relays to extract the characteristics, and singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to extract some features from intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) that are obtained from HHT to use as input of DNNs. As part of the fault data development, all the information eventually enters the DNNs. Compared with prior studies, this suggested method provides considerably superior fault-type identification accuracy. It is also possible to determine new fault locations. A detailed assessment analysis of this suggested FDM was conducted on IEEE 34-bus and MG systems to demonstrate its effectiveness. The simulations indicated that the proposed method is effective for detecting precision, computing time, and robustness to measurement uncertainties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cyber-physical threats as false data injection attacks (FDIAs) in islanded smart microgrids (ISMGs) are typical accretion attacks, which need urgent consideration. In this regard, this paper proposes a novel cyber-attack detection model to detect FDIAs based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and fast Fourier transform (FFT). Since new research are mostly focusing on FDIAs detection in DC systems, paying attention to AC systems attack detection is also necessary; hence, AC state estimation (SE) have been used in SI analysis and in considering renewable energy sources effect. Whenever malicious data are added into the system state vectors, vectors' temporal and spatial datum relations might drift from usual operating conditions. In this approach, switching surface based on sliding mode controllers is dialyzed to regulate detailed FFT's coefficients to calculate singular values. Indexes are determined according to the composition of FFT and SVD in voltage/current switching surface to distinguish the potential cyber-attack. This protection layout is presented for cyber-attack detection and is studied in various types of FDIA forms like amplitude and vector derivation of signals, which exchanged between agents such as smart sensor, control units, smart loads, etc. The prominent advantage of the proposed detection layout is to reduce the time (less than 10 milliseconds from the attack outset) in several kinds of case studies. The proposed method can detect more than 96% accuracy from 2967 sample tests. The performances of the method are carried out on AC-ISMG in MATLAB/Simulink environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the false data injection attacks (FDIA) in an AC smart island and the detection solution of the attack on distributed energy resources in a smart island. In this study, a new scheme of FDIA detection is proposed based on wavelet singular values as input index of deep learning algorithm. In the proposed method, switching surface based on sliding mode control breaks down for adjusting accurate factors of wavelet transform and then features of wavelet coefficients are extracted by singular value decomposition. Indexes are determined according to the wavelet singular values in switching surface of voltage and current which defines the input indexes of deep machine learning and detecting FDIA. This cyber‐protection plan has been put forward for cyber diagnostic and examined in different types of attacks happening in voltage and current signals derivation of measuring sensors as well as sending and receiving data from communication and control systems. The main priority of the suggested detection plan is the high capability to detect FDIA with a high accuracy. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation studies are performed on AC smart island in MATLAB/Simulink environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, the role of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) is of paramount importance in power system security since they are more vulnerable to different cyber-attacks. Detection of cyber-attacks on a direct current microgrid (DC-MG) has become a pivotal issue due to the increasing use of them in various electrical engineering applications, from renewable power generations to the distribution of electricity and power system of public transportation and subway electric network. In this study, a novel strategy was provided to diagnose possible false data injection attacks (FDIA) in DC-MGs to enhance the cyber-security of electrical systems. Accordingly, to diagnose cyber-attacks in DC-MG and to identify the FDIA to distributed energy resource (DER) unit, a new procedure of wavelet transform (WT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) based on deep machine learning was proposed. Additionally, this paper presents a developed selective ensemble deep learning (DL) approach using the gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm to identify the FDIA in DC-MG. In the first stage, in the paper, to gather sufficient data within the ordinary performance required for the training of the DL network, a DC-MG was operated and controlled with no FDIAs. In the information generation procedure, load changing was considered to have diagnosing datasets for cyber-attack and load variation schemes. The obtained simulation results were compared with the new Shallow model and Hilbert Huang Transform methods, and the results confirmed that the presented approach could more precisely and robustly identify multiple forms of FDIAs with more than 95% precision.
