研究目的
Investigating the susceptibility of phasor measurement units (PMUs) to the time synchronization attack by spoofing its global positioning system (GPS) and proposing a cross-layer detection mechanism to fight against simultaneous attacks toward multiple PMUs.
研究成果
The proposed cross-layer detection mechanism effectively identifies GPS spoofing attacks on PMUs by combining physical layer signal analysis with upper layer power system measurements. The mechanism is validated through experiments, showing its potential to enhance the security of smart grids against time synchronization attacks.
研究不足
The physical layer detection mechanism requires the installation of an extra GPS receiver and specific antennas, which may increase the cost and complexity of PMUs. The upper layer detection relies on the linear model approximation of the power grid, which may not capture all nonlinear dynamics.
