Closed Loop Control in Power System

• Power system control and operation is highly dependent on

communication and data technologies.

• Any cyber failure can be hazardous to the reliable operation
• f the power grid.
• Control in power system can be at:
• Substation –Protection
• At multiple Substations : RAS/ Special Protraction

Schemes

• At control Center : Economic Dispatch, etc

Main focus is on faster control at multiple Substations

Closed Loop Control in Power System

• Sensors – PMUS, DFRs, RTU, Weather sensors
• Network - LAN, WAN,VPN
• Computational Framework – Control Center
• Actuators - Relays, motors

Controller/ Decision Making Data Sensors Power System

Control Architectures

• Traditional Implementation –Prone to node failures.
• Decentralized and distributed scheme -Resilient to any single node

failure and scalable.

• Need for cyber resiliency in decentralized and distributed

architectures.

Distributed Computational Architecture

• Divide the power system into various logical groups
• Assign a leader node for each group.

– Collects measurements from buses from its group – Exchanges data from leaders of other groups – Triggers the actuators in its own group

Distributed Computational Architecture

• The algorithm is mathematically distributed over the computing nodes.
• Each area solves a part of the overall problem.
• Exchanges data such as border bus information, tie lie flows etc, with

the neighboring area

• Solution of distributed algorithm converges to “master” centralized

solution under certain mathematical assumptions.

• Can be made to converge to “near” desired solution even under the

failure of one of the computing nodes.

Case Study- Optimal Wind Curtailment Remedial Action Scheme (RAS)

• In order to minimize the wind power curtailment and

protect the transmission lines from overload problem or stability problems, RAS can be deployed for faster control action.

• Existing RAS are hard coded based on pre-determined

control actions.

• New fault-tolerant computational approach needs to be

developed to provide the fast and correct data to dynamic and adaptive RAS.

Case Study-Mathematical Formulation

• The RAS goal is to minimize the wind power curtailment and

mitigate the overload condition on the transmission line at the same time developed based on linear programming and DC power flow

• The objective function of this problem can be written as:

Conclusions

12

• To improve the resiliency of cyber physical system

decentralized and distributed architecture is proposed.

• The power system is divided into logical areas and control

center for each area to improve architectural resiliency

• The mathematical computation is distributed over multiple

computer nodes to achieve computational resiliency.

• A demonstrative distributed RAS application is being

developed.

• Preliminary real time results are shown.
• Additional failures and cyber threats are being modeled

and simulated to validate the cyber-resilient control architecture.
