At first, we standardize the users’ historical electricity load features and use the improved K-Means clustering algorithm to calculate the Euclidean distance between feature vectors to obtain the classification results of users’ load features. On this basis, ES generates relevant parameters to encrypt meter data and protect users’ data privacy based on classification results. The aggregator (Ag) performs the data aggregation, generates the overall signature using the Schnorr aggregation signature method, and sends it to the cloud server (CS). The ES queries the CS to obtain data and parses it to realize the customer billing service.

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers have been widely adopted due to their simplicity and effectiveness. However, recent advancements have introduced fractional order PID (FOPID) controllers that offer improved control performance for complex systems with nonlinear dynamics. To fully leverage FOPID controller’s benefits, an efficient tuning method is essential. In this study, we propose artificial rabbits optimization (ARO) algorithm with enhanced strategies, called IARO, to optimize the FOPID controller for DC motor speed regulation. The IARO algorithm incorporates an adaptive local search (ALS) mechanism and an experience-based perturbed learning (EPL) strategy, addressing the shortcomings of ARO and providing better exploration–exploitation balance. We validate the superiority of IARO over competitive algorithms on the CEC2020 benchmark functions, showcasing improved solution stability and consistency. The IARO algorithm is then applied to tune the FOPID controller for DC motor speed regulation. The problem is formulated as a constraint minimization task, optimizing the integral of time-weighted absolute error cost function while adhering to critical design requirements. Comparative simulations demonstrate the IARO algorithm’s ability to achieve superior cost function values and faster convergence compared to other algorithms' based FOPID controllers. The IARO-based FOPID controller exhibits enhanced stability, smoother speed response, larger gain margin, and wider bandwidth compared to other reported algorithms. Additionally, a hardware implementation is also conducted to further validate the practical applicability of IARO based design method. The IARO-based FOPID controller showed remarkable accuracy in tracking multi-step reference inputs and robustly rejected external disturbances, outperforming other recent optimization-based controllers.

However, virtual inertia has a time delay, so essentially, it is a fast power response. Meanwhile, virtual inertia control is likely to be affected by frequency fluctuation since it responds to the derivative of frequency. Hence, it’s worth exploring non-virtual inertia control for renewable energy when participating in frequency regulation. For this reason, a novel two-segment droop control scheme for renewable energy frequency regulation is proposed in this research. Firstly, the extended system frequency regulation (SFR) model, which contains virtual inertia with time delay, is built and analytically solved by order decrement based on the Routh approximation method. Afterwards, according to the analytical solution, time delay affects the frequency response of renewable energy. It can also be analytically proved that the non-virtual inertia control, e.g., sole droop control, could replace virtual inertia under the same frequency deviation. Still, more energy may be needed for frequency regulation. Furthermore, a novel two-segment droop control is presented, and to analytically prove its ability to replace virtual inertia, the impulse function balancing principle and the integration by parts algorithm were adopted to address the initial conditions of the differential equation. Based on the analytical expression, it can be analytically proved that a lower frequency deviation can be obtained under the same frequency regulation energy. Accordingly, a parameter-setting method for two-segment droop control was proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by using a two-area system frequency response model, and the results reveal that it can be used to replace virtual inertia and has better performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A subset of these attacks, namely Insider attacks, are launched from knowledgeable insiders and therefore they are typically difficult to detect. This paper presents a new method for detecting and classifying Insider cyberattacks as well as power disturbances on SASs using short-length orthogonal wavelet filters in real-time using an OPAL-Real-Time (OPAL-RT) simulator. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is proposed in which custom-designed wavelet filters of short length are developed to better extract both the network and physical data of the SASs into time–frequency spectrograms. The advantage of using the short length filters is to provide fast detection of these time-sensitive Insider attacks and disturbances in real-time, which is a key requirement for mitigation to be possible. The generated spectrograms are fed to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that automates the classification process. An experimental dataset is developed from real-time testing using OPAL-RT that implements several types of cyberattacks including Insider attacks and other popular attacks such as Denial-of-Service and False Data Injection as well as challenging attacks such as Replay and Message Suppression attacks. The results of experimentally testing the proposed method in real-time using OPAL-RT demonstrate that the use of the short-length custom-designed orthogonal wavelet filters achieves a detection accuracy of 97.37 % compared to other methods as well as a low runtime of 33.786 ms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
