This paper provides a comprehensive review of the future digitalization of microgrids to meet the increasing energy demand. It begins with an overview of the background of microgrids, including their components and configurations, control and management strategies, and optimization techniques. It then discusses the key digital technologies that can be used to improve the performance of microgrids, including distributed energy resources management systems, the Internet of Things, big data analytics, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, digital twin technology, cloud computing, and augmented reality. The paper also highlights the importance of cybersecurity in microgrids, identifying the potential security vulnerabilities and threats to microgrid cybersecurity, as well as strategies for addressing these challenges. Finally, the paper discusses the barriers and challenges regarding the digitalization of microgrids, including technical complexity, high implementation costs, regulatory barriers, data privacy and security concerns, lack of standardization, interoperability issues, limited technical expertise, and integration with the main grid. Overall, this paper demonstrates the significant potential for digital technologies to transform the future of microgrids. By leveraging advanced technologies and implementing effective cybersecurity measures, microgrids can become more efficient, reliable, and resilient, enabling them to meet the growing demand for energy and contribute to a sustainable energy future.

“…In cloud computing, whenever data is transmitted, the data can be of two types; the first is authentic data and the second non-authentic data [17]. Authentic data comes from valid users, while inauthentic data is the data that comes from the attacker [18], or is the data that the attacker sends for phishing. Various techniques and detection mechanisms have been developed to prevent intrusive activities.…”

A Secure Architecture to Protect the Network from Replay Attacks during Client-to-Client Data Transmission

Cloud computing is an online data storage system that can be easily accessed anywhere. Various algorithms and techniques have been developed to secure cloud data, which, if used correctly, can detect cloud attacks. These algorithms can only detect cloud data attacks and cannot prevent such attacks. If an attacker gains access to the data, he or she can tamper with the data in any way that could lead to misuse of the data. This paper will design a secure architecture for securing data with various algorithm implementations on the architecture so that cloud data can be saved from replay attacks. First, a text file will be taken, the text file will be encrypted using the encryption mechanism, and this file will be transmitted on the SaaS cloud server platform. Whenever a file is uploaded to a cloud server, it will be broadcast across the network, after which any user can access it, whether it is valid or invalid. Whenever a file is downloaded from a cloud server, it will be necessary to decrypt it to access it. If the file is successfully decrypted, then the file will be verified. A verification mechanism will be used to verify the data, which will be used to check whether a replay attack has been made on the data or not. If the data authentication is successful, this data will be called authentic data. The novelty of this paper is that an algorithm has been developed in this paper to prevent replay attacks so that if the data is retransmitted with slight changes, then the authenticity and inauthenticity of the data will be identified. Recent papers will be compared with the proposed paper in the conclusion, and it will be pointed out how much better the current technique is than the previous one.

“…However, watermark signals are often devised disregarding the system stability after the attack occurrence. This coupling between secure control schemes and watermarking techniques has been rarely studied, with the exception of [29] where a set-theoretic controller is designed considering the injection of a packet drop watermarking strategy. Similarly, most of the research rely on attack models, which are rarely true.…”

This article presents a novel secure-control framework against sensor deception attacks. The vulnerability of cyber-physical systems with respect to sensor deceptive attacks makes that all sensor measurements are not reliable until the system security is assured by an attack detection module. Most of the active attack detection strategies require some time to assess the system security, while injecting a watermark signal to ease the detection. However, the injection of watermark signals deteriorates the performance and stability of the plant. The proposed control framework consists of a dual-rate control (DRC) that is able to stabilize the plant using: 1) a model predictive controller that operates at a slower sampling time; 2) a state-feedback predictor-based controller that operates in the nominal sampling time disregarding the use of the untrustworthy measurements until the attack detector is able to certify the security; and 3) a reconfiguration block (RB) for palliating the effect of the watermarking. Simulation results indicate the efficacy of the proposed DRC framework to defend the system from cyber-attacks and the ability of the RB to improve the closed-loop performance during the watermark injection.
