Abstract

The development of power electronics-based medium voltage direct current (MVDC) networks has revolutionized the marine industry by enabling all-electric ships (AES). This technology facilitates the integration of heterogeneous resources and improves efficiency. The independent shipboard power system (SPS) is controlled by exchanging measurements and control signals over a communication network. However, the reliance on communication channels raises concerns about the potential exploitation of vulnerabilities leading to cyber-attacks that could disrupt the system. In this paper, a notional 12 k V MVDC SPS model with zonal electrical distribution system (ZEDS) architecture is considered as an exemplary model. As the system stability is closely linked to the transient performance, we investigate how to determine the operational status of the system under potential data integrity attacks on the governor and exciter of the power generation modules (PGMs). Further, the impact of these attacks on the stability of rotor speed and the DC link voltage is derived and discussed. The simulation of the system is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
