Distributed control over networks in modern power systems poses several challenges in terms of communication resources and validation in a high-fidelity cyber-physical environment. To this aim, this paper shows an assessment analysis of a novel distributed Dynamic Event-Triggered control strategy, recently introduced in the technical literature, for voltage regulation in inverter-based islanded Microgrids on a high-fidelity real-time simulation platform, accurately implemented via MATLAB/SimPowersystems environment and Speedgoat Real-Time Target Machine, thus providing insights into its real-world applicability and performance. Moreover, a wide range of off-normal conditions for the islanded Microgrids are emulated, to validate the effectiveness and the resilience of the control strategy. Finally, the latin hypercube sampling approach is exploited for the assessment of the controlperformance under several systems parameters uncertainties/variations, as well as for all the possible combinations of them.

Magnetic network energy router (MNER) has the advantages of high transmission efficiency and high-power quality in distributed energy consumption. Traditional proportional-integral (PI) control applied to MNER converters exhibits slow dynamic response and insufficient multi-objective control capability. To solve this problem, a model predictive power control (MPPC) strategy is proposed in this paper for MNER converter, which can achieve the free flow of power between different ports, has better dynamic performance than PI control. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MPPC strategy.

With the advent of new technologies and hardware, the importance and demand for autonomous vehicles are also increasing nowadays. For the safe deployment of these autonomous vehicles, efficient and reliable control techniques are very crucial. Classical control techniques encounter difficulties in accommodating various intricate real-world driving situations, hence, fail to properly control them. Moreover, since a major part of the underlying feedback control computation includes heavy vision computation tasks, classical control techniques are falling short in controlling them properly due to the delay coming from this lengthy vision computation. To overcome this, data-driven approaches are being used in many applications. This research work particularly addresses the challenge of controlling an autonomous lane-keeping assist system leveraging the power of neural networks (NN). The aim of the proposed NN-based controller is to enhance the precision and robustness of the lane-keeping assist system. The NN-based controller demonstrates promising results with respect to some state-of-the-art methodologies, offering hope for safer and more effective autonomous driving in dynamic environments.

With 5G and beyond promises to realize massive machine-type communications, a wide range of applications have driven interest in complex heterogeneous networked systems, including multi-agent optimization, large-scale distributed learning, 5G service provisioning, etc. This trend highlights the essence of seamless control, management, and security mechanisms to be in place for the next-generation networked cyber-physical systems (CPS). In this paper, we interpret trust as a relation among networked collaborating entities that can set forth a measure for evaluating the status of network components and secure the execution of the collaborative protocol. In this paper, we will first elaborate on the importance of trust as a metric and then present a mathematical framework for trust computation and aggregation within a network. We consider two use-case examples where trust can be incorporated into the next-generation networked CPS and improve the security of decision-making, i.e. i) federated learning (FL), and ii) network resource provisioning. Finally, we explain the challenges associated with aggregating the trust evidence and briefly explain our ideas to tackle them.

network-on-Chip (NoC) is considered as a scalable interconnect medium for Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) due to its ability to provide high bandwidth and low latency communication. With the increasing intricacy of the modern-day systems, the state-of-the-art NoCs are becoming extremely complex. Design-for-Debug (DFD) structures are integrated to the system for the validation of such complex modules during post-silicon debug. However, after the system validation and mass production, the DFD hardware remains vestigial on the design. In this context, we propose ReDeSIGN, a framework to reuse the DFD infrastructure during the in-field operation for performance enhancement of the NoC-based MPSoCs. Major contributions of our work include reuse of (i) trace buffer as extended Virtual Channel (VC) for network throughput improvement, (ii) trace prioritization hardware for critical data prioritization, and (iii) packet monitor module for packet starvation control. Experimental evaluations with real benchmarks show an average of 11.46% increase in network throughput, 34.93% decrease in critical data latency, and 19.17% decrease in packet starvation for an 8x8 homogeneous system.

The performance of wide-area damping controllers (WADCs) heavily depends on the accuracy and authenticity of the measurements received from phasor measurement units (PMUs). These controllers receive PMU data and send the control commands back to grid actuators, e.g., flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices. The use of cyber systems required for transferring PMU measurements, however, makes the controller and entire power system prone to a variety of cyber attacks, e.g., false data injection attacks (FDIAs). On this basis, this paper (i) proposes an FDIA model against FACTS-based WADCs and (ii) develops detection and mitigation methods for the proposed attacks. First, FDIAs are designed to destabilize the system, considering realistic limitations on the power grids. Then, a modified conditional generative adversarial network (MCGAN) is utilized for the detection and mitigation of these FDIAs. To detect this attack, a detector is developed from the discriminator of MCGAN, using the fine-tuning technique. The use of this proposed method enhances detection performance in imbalanced datasets and effectively identifies unseen high-risk attacks. Following the detection, a mitigation method is implemented based on the coordination of a graph-based interpolation and the tuned generator of the developed MCGAN. This method effectively mitigates the impact of the FDIAs on the FACTS-based WADCs. The effectiveness of the attack model, as well as the detection and mitigation methods, is assessed using the two-area Kundur and New England 39-Bus test systems.
The stability of the electrical network is considered a major challenge in the development of energy systems based on various sources. This research provides a comparison of the dynamic performance of FACTS devices su...

controlling antenna tilts in cellular networks is critical to achieve a good trade-off between network coverage and capacity. We devise algorithms learning optimal tilt control policies from existing data (passive learning setting) or from data actively generated by the algorithms (active learning setting). We formalize the design of such algorithms as a Best Policy Identification problem in Contextual Linear Bandits (CLB). In CLB, an action represents an antenna tilt update;the context captures current network conditions;the reward corresponds to an improvement of performance, mixing coverage and capacity. The objective is to identify an approximately optimal policy (a function mapping the context to an action with maximal reward). For both active and passive learning, we derive information-theoretical lower bounds on the number of samples required by any algorithm returning an approximately optimal policy with a given level of certainty, and devise algorithms achieving these fundamental limits. We apply our algorithms to the Remote Electrical Tilt optimization problem in cellular networks, and show that they can produce optimal tilt update policy using much fewer data samples than naive or existing rule-based learning algorithms. This paper is an extension of work presented at IEEE International conference on Computer Communications (INFOCOM) 2022 (Vannella et al. 2022).
Since network delays can severely impact networked controlsystems (NCS), both guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) at the network level and guaranteed stability at the application level in the presence of delays are e...
