Distributed Resilient Control of DC Microgrids Under Generally Unbounded FDI Attacks

Due to the nature of distributed secondary control paradigm, DC microgrids are prone to malicious cyber-physical attacks, which could be unbounded to maximize their damage. Existing resilient secondary control methods addressing unbounded attacks require that the first time derivatives of cyber-physical attack signals be bounded. The secondary defense strategy presented in this letter relax such a strict constraint by addressing more generally unbounded attack signals and hence, enhance the resilience of DC microgrids in adversarial environments. Rigorous proofs, based on Lyapunov techniques, show that the proposed method guarantees the uniformly ultimately bounded convergence for both voltage regulation and proportional load sharing under generally unbounded attacks. Comparative case studies further validate the enhanced resilience of the proposed attack-resilient control strategy.
