Research Objective
To evaluate a secure grid-forming BESS control strategy that maintains renewable-grid voltage and frequency stability during cyberattack, measurement corruption or controller set-point manipulation.
System Architecture
The model uses renewable generation, grid-forming BESS, weak-grid interface, load buses, attacker event model, secure control filter and RMS result channels for bus voltage, frequency, active power and reactive support.
Simulation Methodology
Normal and cyberattack scenarios are compared by applying false measurement signals, communication delay or control reference attacks. Secure GFM-BESS logic is assessed through stability recovery and disturbance rejection metrics.
Validation Scenarios
- Baseline grid-forming renewable power-system operation
- False measurement and set-point attack events
- Secure control filtering and fallback mode response
- Weak-grid load disturbance during cyberattack
- Normal, attacked and resilient control comparison
Expected Graphs and Result Discussion
A complete result section should include the main waveforms, controller response, operating status and comparison tables needed for engineering thesis documentation. For this project, the important graph set includes:
- Voltage and frequency under cyberattack
- GFM-BESS active/reactive power response
- Attack signal versus filtered measurement
- Secure controller status
- Resilience index and recovery time
Thesis and Research Extension Ideas
Digital twin detection, ML-based attack classification, blockchain-secured control commands and adaptive virtual inertia can be integrated for cyber-physical grid research.
