Chen, Jie (author), Gallo, A.J. (author), Yan, Shuo (author), Parisini, Thomas (author), Yuen Ron Hui, Shu (author)With increasing installations of grid-connected power electronic converters in the distribution network, there is a new trend of using distributed control in a cyber layer to coordinate the operations of these power converters for improving power system stability. However, cyber-attacks remain a threat to such distributed control. This paper...journal article 2022

Mohammadpourfard, Mostafa (author), Weng, Yang (author), Khalili, Abdullah (author), Genc, Istemihan (author), Shefaei, A. (author), Mohammadi-Ivatloo, Behnam (author)The expansion of power systems over large geographical areas renders centralized processing inefficient. Therefore, the distributed operation is increasingly adopted. This work introduces a new type of attack against distributed state estimation of power systems, which operates on inter-area boundary buses. We show that the developed attack...journal article 2022

Flor, Vinicius B.Braga (author), Filho, Milton B.Do Coutto (author), de Souza, Julio C.Stacchini (author), Vergara Barrios, P.P. (author)Intelligent electrical power grids, widely referred to as smart grids (SGs), rely on digital technology resources, especially communication and measurement devices, becoming a cyber-physical energy system. Massive data flow between grid elements makes smart grids more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Power system state estimation (SE) - an...journal article 2022

Xiao, J. (author), Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Smart grid steady control relies heavily on the communication infrastructure among sensors, actuators, and control systems, which makes it vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Accurate acquisition of dynamic state information is deemed vital for efficient detection of these cyber-attacks on a smart grid. However, several popular state estimation...conference paper 2022

Crompvoets, JPA (author)Over the past decade, a new concept for the power grid called the smart grid emerged, to enable two way energy transport and communication. With this new smart grid architecture many opportunities for control methods arise. While this can improve the efficiency of the power grid, all these methods require communication, which is a limited...master thesis 2021

ten Boske, Lisette (author)In the future, the energy supply will primarily consist of energy from renewables, which makes energy producers and grid operators fear that grid security and reliability could be threatened. On top of a more fluctuating supply, energy demand is also expected to increase in the coming years, especially if heating will be electrical when gas is...master thesis 2021

Logeman, Joris (author)Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of this time. One of the necessary changes to combat this challenge is a shift from conventional power resources, such as coal and natural gas, to large scale deployment of renewable resources, such as wind and solar power. However, renewable energy resources are volatile because they depend on the...master thesis 2021

van Leeuwen, C.J. (author)In this thesis I research the ability of groups of agents to organize their collective behavior, without any human intervention. Using a framework for gathering information of the behavior, analyzing the performance, and updating the behavior, the agents can adapt to changing environments or user requirements. In my thesis I use different...doctoral thesis 2021

Shekhar, A. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Bauer, P. (author)DC links with back to back voltage source converters are usually built alongside the existing medium voltage ac distribution grids for infrastructure reinforcement. The distribution network operators need to run multiple of such parallel ac and dc links between two substations at optimal efficiency. This article shows that the active power...journal article 2021

Scarabaggio, Paolo (author), Grammatico, S. (author), Carli, Raffaele (author), Dotoli, Mariagrazia (author)In this paper, we consider a smart grid where users behave selfishly, aiming at minimizing cost in the presence of uncertain wind power availability. We adopt a demand side management (DSM) model, where active users (so-called prosumers) have both private generation and local storage availability. These prosumers participate to the DSM...journal article 2021
