Abstract :
With the advancement of science, in many control methods, the neighbor system is used to better control and synchronize between different information of microgrids. There are problems in accessing and transmitting information through communication links. In this article, vulnerability and acceptance of secondary control methods are distributed. Also, denial-of-service (DoS) cyber-attacks, sensors and actuators, and hijacking on the island microgrid have been investigated. In addition to stability, synchronization is also analyzed in this article. Multi-agent systems have been used for synchronization. Cyber-attacks are mathematically formulated in the controller. A suitable controller is designed to eliminate the attacks. In the stability and synchronization of frequency and voltage, the Lyapunov function is presented and simultaneous analysis of stability and synchronization has been done with practical proofs. The resilience factor has been calculated for different attacks. It is shown that the system is resilient against cyber-attacks. A case study has been simulated in MATLAB/Simulink to approve the theoretical issues.
