Research on False Data Injection Attacks in VSC-HVDC Systems

The false data injection (FDI) attack is a crucial form of cyber-physical security problems facing cyber-physical power systems. However, there is no research revealing the problem of FDI attacks facing voltage source converter based high voltage direct current transmission (VSC-HVDC) systems. Firstly, the general form of the model of FDI attack strategies is proposed and the essence of the problem of FDI attack strategies is further analyzed. Moreover, the model of FDI attack strategies aiming at disrupting the operation security of converter stations in VSC-HVDC systems is proposed and its solving algorithm is then presented. And finally, the modified IEEE-14 bus system is utilized to reveal the problem of FDI attacks facing VSC-HVDC systems, demonstrating that attackers are capable of disrupting the operation security of converter stations in VSC-HVDC systems by FDI attacks.
