The grid under study is a DC microgrid with distributed boost converters, where the false data are injected into the voltage data so as to investigate the effect of attacks. The proposed algorithm uses a bank of sliding mode observers that estimates the states of the neighbor agents. Each agent estimates the neighboring states and, according to the estimation and communication data, the detection mechanism reveals the presence of FDIA. The proposed control scheme provides resiliency to the system by replacing the conventional consensus rule with attack-resilient ones. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method, a real-time simulation with eight agents has been performed. Moreover, a verification experimental test with three boost converters has been utilized to confirm the simulation results. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is able to detect FDI attacks and it protects the consensus deviation against FDI attacks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22072644","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]],"date-time":"2022-03-30T21:28:39Z","timestamp":1648675719000},"page":"2644","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Resilient Consensus Control Design for DC Microgrids against False Data Injection Attacks Using a Distributed Bank of Sliding Mode Observers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Yousof","family":"Barzegari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Shiraz University of Technology, Shiraz 71557-13876, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0135-8173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jafar","family":"Zarei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Shiraz University of Technology, Shiraz 71557-13876, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Sunset Ave., Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4330-3656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roozbeh","family":"Razavi-Far","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Sunset Ave., Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehrdad","family":"Saif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Sunset Ave., Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6768-8394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasile","family":"Palade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Computational Science and Mathematical Modeling, Coventry University, Coventry CV1 5FB, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11135","DOI":"10.1109\/TIE.2020.3031522","article-title":"Improved distributed prescribed finite-time secondary control of inverter-based microgrids: Design and real-time implementation","volume":"68","author":"Sarrafan","year":"2020","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
