An Attack-resilient and Center-free Energy Dispatch Framework for Power Generation Considering Renewable Sources

With the increasing integration of clean energy sources into existing power networks, it is critical to discover new ways to successfully govern these sources while also incorporating the data center security. Distributed control protocols widely address the energy dispatch of hybrid energy networks (HEN) due to their exceptional adaptability and resilience. However, these algorithms also introduce a danger of cyber-attacks in HENs. To handle this problem, this work presents the consensus-based control protocols for energy dispatch of HENs considering cyber-attacks over a directed graph. The developed method establishes incremental cost consensus across thermal power units under the environment of hybrid attacks and ensures that the data centers achieve optimal power dispatch. Furthermore, we consider the consensus-based distributed protocols in a centerfree manner and offer them as an optimization strategy to address the challenge of minimizing generating costs, while also ensuring resilience against hybrid attacks (like deception and denial-of-service). Finally, the efficacy of the suggested approach is validated by simulation trials.
