Mad or Impossible to Be Mad? Rethinking Load Manipulation Threats in Renewable-Integrated Power Grids and Defenses
- Published
- Record updated
Summary
Researchers examine a two-sided threat to power grids with renewable distributed energy resources (DERs), called ToLaR, which jointly exploits load-side and DER-side dynamics beyond conventional MadIoT. Tests on six benchmark systems and a physical microgrid testbed show ToLaR produces comparable cascading impacts at only 10% of MadIoT's attack cost. By manipulating the fast frequency response of energy storage systems, the transient grid frequency can be driven down to 53 Hz, triggering severe instability.
Mitigation
The source states that the authors propose countermeasures from the perspectives of the power grid, the network system, and attack detection, but does not give their specific details.
