Patent – System and Method for Frequency Regulation During Cyber-Attacks in Thermal Power Plants

 

A full patent is registered with Indian Patent Office, with title, “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FREQUENCY REGULATION DURING CYBER-ATTACKS IN THERMAL POWER PLANTS”

By Utkal Mehta (STEMP) in collaboration with NIT Patna, India.

The detail about the invention is below:

The present disclosure relates to a tri-parametric fractional controller smart system and a method to help maintain the stability of electrical power systems amid the simultaneous occurrence of cyber threats and communication delays.

ADVANTAGES OF THE DISCLOSURE

  1. Provides a system that synchronizes various areas of the thermal power plant with a frequency regulation that contributes to an overall stability of the power system.
  2. Provides a system that allows for adjustments in power generation and load distribution to respond to changing conditions and requirements.
  3. Provides a system that incorporates cybersecurity sensors and actuators to enhance the plant’s resilience to cyber threats.
  4. Provides a system that reduces redundancy and increases reliability of the power systems.
  5. Provides a system that adapts to changes in system conditions more effectively than traditional integer-order controllers.
  6. Provides a system that ensuring that the system remains stable and responsive in the presence of cyber-attacks.
  7. Provides a system that can contribute to increased stability margins, making the system less prone to instability or oscillations.
