Software Defined Microgrid
In this paper, we present a software-defined control (SDC) architecture for microgrid. Decoupling soft-ware from dedicated hardware enables easier modifications, managements and updates. . To tackle the challenges, a software-defined control SDC) architecture for microgrid is devised, which virtualizes tradi-tionally hardware-dependent microgrid control functions as software services decoupled from the underlying hardware infrastructure, fully resolving hardware dependence issues and. . Cyber-physical power systems integrate sensing, communication, and control, ensuring power system resiliency and security, particularly in clustered networked microgrids. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) provides a suitable foundation by centralizing policy, enforcing traffic isolation, and. . Microgrid is a solution which supports the integration of distributed energy resources and energy storage at grid edges. However, it is often difficult to build and operate microgrids due to the hardware dependence and the costs associated with updating the hardware when the microgrid configuration. . Abstract—Integrated with a high share of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs), microgrids face increasing complexity of fre-quency dynamics, especially after unintentional islanding from the maingrid. This makes them vulnerable to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
