Abstract
This thesis aims to develop a real time cyber physical testbed for analyzing the impact of cyber events on the microgrid resiliency. The microgrid considered in this study is based on a land based Army microgrid with critical and non critical loads. Adverse cyber attacks on these microgrids may aim to shut down the critical load. This goal of this thesis work is to study the resiliency of the microgrid to such attacks. A real time, cyber physical co-simulation testbed involving the use of a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) for simulating the power system, CORE for emulation of the communication architecture, a socket programming based interface implemented in Python, a resiliency based reconfiguration algorithm implemented in Python, and theoretical models of the system and the cyber attacks developed in process calculus is used in this work. Cyber Physical system simulation results demonstrate the ability of the testbed to implement the cyber attacks and analyze the impact on microgrid resiliency.
