Enhancing smart grid resilience via cybersecurity-integrated control of multilevel DSTATCOMs

Reliable voltage regulation in cyber-physical smart grids is essential for maintaining sustainable and secure power distribution. Modern distribution networks increasingly rely on interconnected control devices, such as multilevel distribution static compensators (DSTATCOMs), which enhance reactive power management and voltage stability but expose critical vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. This paper develops a cybersecurity-integrated control framework based on nonlinear feedback linearization a
