Description
Summary:Cyber-attacks on the power grid happen frequently nowadays which results in a high incidence of power fault, like power blackouts. The current cyber-physical co-simulation technology for power grid vulnerability researches still adopt script simulation rather than dynamic simulation, making the dynamic analysis unavailable. In this paper, a real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform integrated by QualNet and Real-time Digital Simulator (RTDS) is investigated. On this platform, a dynamic cyber-attack approach, i.e., DoS attack and data tampering attack, is proposed, where users can dynamically conFigure the cyber-attack situations of power grid via a designed panel during the simulation process, to estimate and analyse the impact of cyber-attacks on the power grid system. Experiment results verify the operability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
