User Station Security Protection Method Based on Random Domain Name Detection and Active Defense

The power monitoring system is the most important production management system in the power industry. As an important part of the power monitoring system, the user station that lacks grid binding will become an important target of network attacks. In order to perceive the network attack events on the user station side in time, a method combining real-time detection and active defense of random domain names on the user station side was proposed. Capsule network (CapsNet) combined with long short-term memory network (LSTM) was used to classify the domain names extracted from the traffic data. When a random domain name is detected, it sent instructions to routers and switched to update their security policies through the remote terminal protocol (Telnet), or shut down the service interfaces of routers and switched to block network attacks. The experimental results showed that the use of CapsNet combined with LSTM classification algorithm can achieve 99.16% accuracy and 98% recall rate in random domain name detection. Through the Telnet protocol, routers and switches can be linked to make active defense without interrupting services.

A preventive control strategy for static voltage stability based on an efficient power plant model of electric vehicles

With the increasing integration of wind farms and electric vehicles(EVs)in power systems,voltage stability is becoming more and more serious.Based on vehicle-to-grid(V2G),an efficient power plant model of EVs(E-EPP)was developed to estimate EV charging load with available corresponding response capacity under different charging strategies.A preventive control strategy based on E-EPP was proposed to maintain the static voltage stability margin(VSM)of power system above a predefined security level.Two control modes were used including the disconnection of EV charging load(‘V1G’mode)and the discharge of stored battery energy back to power grid(‘V2G’mode).A modified IEEE 14-bus system with high penetration of wind power and EVs was used to verify the effectiveness of preventive control strategy.Simulation results showed that the proposed strategy can not only improve the static voltage stability of power system with considerable wind generation,but also guarantee the travelling comfort for EV owners.

Fiber Bragg grating monitors for thermal and stress of the composite insulators in transmission lines

Running composite insulators are prone to failure due to their harsh surrounding work environment, which directly affects the safe operation of transmission lines. This paper puts forward the method of using fiber Bragg grating(FBG) as the monitors to parameters correlated with thermal and stress of the composite insulators in transmission lines at working status. Firstly, monitoring points are found out by the mechanical test on composite insulator samples. Secondly, based on the monitoring theory, this paper introduces the feasibility design frame of the composite insulator with FBG implanted in the rod and the online monitor system. At last, it describes applications of this monitor system in the field of transmission lines.

Impacts of subsynchronous and supersynchronous frequency components on synchrophasor measurements

Phasor measurement units(PMU) are playing an increasingly important role in power system dynamic security monitoring and control. However, the wide-area deployments of the renewable energy sources and the high voltage direct current(HVDC) transmission bring a large number of inter-harmonics to the power grid, which may result in further power system security problems. The impacts of inter-harmonics on synchrophasor measurements are revealed. This paper derives the phasor expressions of the signal, which contains the fundamental component and the inter-harmonics. It is found that the inter-harmonics will lead to the subsynchronous oscillation of the phasor measurements. The frequency transmutation principle between the harmonic and the phasor oscillation is revealed. Then, the field PMU data recorded during a subsynchronous oscillation, which occurred in an area of China with a high concentration of wind farms and HVDC transmission lines, are studied. A geographical wiring diagram with the subsynchronous oscillation distribution depicts the severe consequences of the inter-harmonics. In addition, the correctness of the theoretical derivation and the possibility of the inter-harmonics monitoring are verified.
