Robustness analysis of cyber-physical power system based on reachable matrix

Abstract

The traditional modelling and simulation analysis methods based on graph theory are difficult to present the structural characteristics and dynamic laws of cyber-physical power systems (CPPS). In order to reduce the complexity of the attack graph, this paper proposes a CPPS robustness analysis method based on the reachable matrix. Based on the evolution of the augmented adjacency matrix of cyber-physical power system, this method uses the reachable matrix to obtain the maximum connectivity matrix of the system (the adjacency matrix corresponding to the largest connected subgraph of cyber-physical power system), and then, evaluates and analyses the robustness of cyber-physical power system. The IEEE118 node standard model is taken as an example to carry out the simulation experiment. The experimental results show that the reachable matrix has feasibility in the robustness analysis of cyber-physical power systems. Further through the contrast experiment found that compared with the robustness analysis method based on graph theory, the proposed method in this paper can reduce the modelling complexity of the mutual coupling network, reduce the complexity of the attack graph, and clearly and intuitively show the structural characteristics and dynamic laws of the network connection in the system.
