2. What is Smart Grid?Smart Grid: Communication-enabled intelligence for the electric power grid.# Two-way digital communication and computer-based remote control and automation are the keys to a smart grid system.Three Main Components of Smart Grid:Electric power systemCommunication and networkingEmbedded and distributed intelligenceFig. 1. Smart grid layout.# The aim of the smart grid is to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electrical power.2

3. # Output power of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind generator systems used in smart grid are time varying and intermittent in nature.How Energy Storage Works in Smart Grid?Grid powerEnergy storage deviceOutput power of PV/wind generator system# According to system power requirements, energy storage device should be capable of charging and discharging quickly. 3

4. -Energy storage system is an essential component for integrating renewable energy sources, such as wind turbine generator system and PV (photovoltaic) system, to a smart power distribution grid. -Without the energy storage system, smoothed power cannot be delivered to customers. -The charge and discharge of an energy storage system can be regulated through an internet based supervisory control system. However, there is a high possibility of cyber-attacks, which may significantly affect the functionality of the energy storage system. -If the energy storage does not function properly, then the distributed generators will provide fluctuated power, voltage and frequency to the customers, i.e., the power quality of the smart grid system will be deteriorated.

5. The goal of this project is to test a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for cyber-security with a view to building a resilient and reliable smart power grid. Objective5

6. -While there has been lot of research done in the energy storage systems, the cyber-security issues and their testing have not been explored. -This research analyzes the cyber-attacks impact on the hybrid storage system. Also, appropriate testing method for the cyber-security issues of the energy storage has been explored.Novelty6

9. Testing of Cyber-Security in Hybrid Energy Storage SystemTo test the cyber-security of the hybrid energy storage system, packet drop attack, distributed denial of service [DDoS] attack, and tampering communication data/signal have been considered.- Packet drop attack: This attack can be caused at various choke points in the communication path (links, firewalls, proxy servers, encryption device, routers, switches, etc.) when a queue within these network points reaches its maximum capacity.  - Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks: These attacks are mainly used for disrupting, blocking or jamming the flow of information through control and communication networks. - Tampering communication data/signal: This type of cyber-attack not only delays communication but also contaminates the data in the communication. 9

AC microgrid system connected to power distribution grid.10# Hybrid energy storage system consists of battery energy storage (high energy density device) and supercapacitor energy storage (high power density device). For quick and short duration variations in solar irradiance or wind speed, supercapacitor storage is used, while for steady and long duration variations, battery storage is used.

11. Evaluation or Assessment Method(1)(2)(3) AC bus voltage index : Frequency index : where F : frequency deviation of the system and T : simulation time. Power index :where V : AC bus voltage deviation and T : simulation time. # To evaluate the system performance, the responses of AC bus voltage, AC bus power, AC bus frequency, energy storage power, dc link voltages of wind generator and PV system, etc., have been observed and analyzed. Moreover, these variables have been quantified by using some indices shown below.where P : AC bus active power deviation and T : simulation time. 11# The lower the value of indices, the better is the system performance.
