Self-Protective Inverters Against Malicious Setpoints Using Analytical Reference Models
Abstract
This paper presents the concept of self-protective inverters using reference models. In the proposed method, incoming setpoints from the utility operator or third-party aggregators are inspected using analytical reference models before engaging the setpoints to the inverter’s local controller. When a malicious setpoint passes the existing security layers, a smart inverter can examine the integrity of an incoming setpoint in real-time. The efficacy of the developed method has been tested using a laboratory setup, including a three-phase 3kVA SiC-MOSFET inverter and a 12kW NHR 9410 regenerative grid emulator. Furthermore, the results verify that the developed analytical models can provide device-level protection for grid-interactive inverters by inspecting and preventing harmful setpoints from getting engaged to the local controller.
