Distributed Control of Parallel DC–DC Converters Under FDI Attacks on Actuators

The parallel connection of dc–dc converters requires the development of an appropriate control strategy that regulates load voltage and shares current among participating converters. This article proposes a resilient and robust cooperative distributed control approach that simultaneously ensures voltage regulation and balanced current sharing in parallel dc–dc converters in the presence of false data injection attacks on control input channels. Based on analytical tools from network control and Lyapunov stability theory, concise stability certificates are derived. The proposed cooperative distributed control strategy guarantees resilience against unknown bounded attacks on the actuators of dc–dc converters and the robustness to uncertainties in load parameters and the physical parameters of converters. Furthermore, the control design for each converter does not require any knowledge about the number of participating converters. The detailed simulation and experimental results verify the satisfactory performance of the proposed method in voltage regulation and balanced current sharing in parallel converters, as well as resilience to bounded false data injection attacks.
