Networked Control Systems: Microgrid Controllers and Cybersecurity

This lecture covers the primary scalable controllers for microgrids, secondary control based on consensus for current sharing, vulnerability of secondary controllers to cyberattacks, and concluding remarks for the course. Topics include primary voltage control, networked consensus-based secondary current control, model of DC microgrids, decentralized control, PnP controllers, and consensus-based secondary current control. The lecture also discusses the hierarchical control scheme, experiments on microgrid topology, pitfalls of consensus, cyberattack detection, simulation results, and the importance of attack detection schemes. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the covered topics, exam details, course slides availability, and feedback for course improvement.
