UK WORKSHOP - Enhancing Resilience in Cyber-Physical Microgrids

Microgrids enhance power system resilience by integrating distributed energy resources and operating independently when needed. However, their reliance on digital control and communication makes them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Key threats include manipulation of control inputs, sensor data corruption, and disruptions to networked operations. Solutions include adaptive control strategies, virtual sensors and actuators, and multi-layered cybersecurity defenses. A resilient approach ensures microgrids maintain functionality, recover quickly, and adapt to evolving cyber threats.
