“…Cyber-physical systems, meaning integration of computation, communication, and physical processes as well as their security issues, are new research frontiers [250]. MGs are considered cyber-physical systems since they need advanced communication infrastructure to maintain their stability, therefore they are prone to cybersecurity issues as well [251]. Man-made incidents including cyber-physical attacks will significantly impact the stability and resiliency of the MG [252].…”

This work analyzes interlinking converter control in hybrid AC/DC microgrids. The paper addresses the state-of-the-art general hybrid microgrid structure. The key power electronics topologies are used as bidirectional interface converters in the AC and DC parts. Different control structures of hybrid microgrids are categorized, followed by the classification of the main control functions, their control strategies, and the control techniques and a summary of their positive and negative aspects and applications. Control functions, their strategies and techniques are classified in the interlinking-converter based. Finally, overall control objectives, time-scaled control structures, and their strategies are outlined. The prospects, main challenges, research gaps, and the trend of the hybrid microgrid structure and control are reviewed and summarized in the conclusions.

“…The process of determining unit operations suggests a complexity-reduction approach for subdividing infrastructure to increase resilience [31], including how the power grid might be subdivided into various forms of micro-or macrogrids [32]. Within these subdivided areas, power stability is maintained against threats or has the ability to regulate effects from destabilizing forces such as intermittent generation.…”

Because the research area of resilient control systems was pioneered during the last decade, the basis and benchmarking of resilience have continued to mature to achieve what has long been understood as the ultimate benefit of resilience. However, the automation "ship" has long since sailed on society's dependence on digital control systems as the basis for all our industries and even the appliances in our homes. While these systems have been in general very reliable and provided for many human and operational efficiencies, the designs were not built on a framework that recognizes and adapts to potential debilitating failures from events such as cyber-attack. In this review, we cover a rapidly maturing framework based upon a disturbance and impact resilience evaluation process that considers both the methodologies for assessing resilience and also how key design principals must be applied within distributed control systems to achieve resilience.

“…In recent years, the idea of software-defined power grids has been presented in several ways. Works from power grid network reprogrammability [4] to decoupling the cyber-physical layer of power grids [5]- [7] and also in form of a case study targeting a particular benefit microgrid softwarization [1]. The works present efforts and reviews on portions of this software-defined paradigm such as security concerns, resiliency, control.…”

“…Closely tied to SDMG operation are cyber-physical microgrids. Vu et al [5] presented a comprehensive review on cyber-physical strategies for microgrid resiliency towards cyber-attacks. An SDN-based centralized controller had been highlighted to optimize management and control of the cyber-layer to improve quality of service.…”

Software-Defined Power Grids: A Survey on Opportunities and Taxonomy for Microgrids

Future generation power grids will require the introduction and deployment of distributed energy resources to meet modern day load requirements. Consequently, we expect to see a rise in microgrids (MGs) existing as part of the main grid (grid-connected) or independent (islanded). Contained in these microgrids are a combination of energy resources such as solar, wind and fossil-fuels coupled with storage devices, electric vehicles and smart devices supporting prosumer operation. However, the addition of renewable energy resources would mean fluctuations in energy supply which would cause power system instability if not managed effectively. Hence, to maximize the management flexibility of MGs, the concept of microgrid software-definition is introduced. A concept that can be looked at as giving the microgrid an operating system to improve operation response and event detection by maintaining a global view of the network. This paper therefore critically analyses what this entails by presenting an architecture for Software-Defined Microgrids and discussing the management opportunities that softwarization of the MG introduces. We also highlight the design requirements and associated challenges in implementing and deploying SDMGs.INDEX TERMS Energy balancing, grid resiliency, microgrids, power grid management, software-defined networking, smart grids.
