Attack Resilient Microgrid: Impact Characterisation, Online Anomaly Detection and Mitigation
This paper proposes an attack‐resilient control framework for grid‐connected microgrids that enable real‐time detection and mitigation of stealthy cyber‐physical attacks on control and measurement signals. Using an online LSTM‐based anomaly detection system and a model‐based mitigation strategy, the framework maintains near‐optimal performance even ...

Impact of Cyberphysical Attacks on Load Tap Changers and Distribution System Voltage Stability
In this paper, we analysed the impact of a cyberphysical attack manipulating the operation of the LTC. In addition, we analysed the effect of load drop and PV while LTC is being manipulated. The cyber vulnerabilities leading to the attack were explored. ABSTRACT Load tap changers (LTCs) play a critical role in voltage regulation, and their manipulation
