Microgrid has emerged as one of the important components of today’s smart grid which continues to see increasing penetration of distributed generators (DGs). Distributed control of these DGs, especially grid-forming (GFM) inverters in the microgrid setup, has become popular over the traditional centralized controller due to its features such as sparse communication network, distributed computing, and no risk of single point of failure. However, the use of these communication and control entities exposes the microgrid to cyberattacks. This paper presents, for GFM inverters in AC microgrids, a resilient distributed control based on the virtual anchor concept. Herein, the proposed controller is tested against various cyberattacks in a test CERTS microgrid of four DGs set up in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
