The cluster-featured conurbation cyber-physical power system (CPPS) interconnected with tie-lines facing the hazards from catastrophic cascading failures. To achieve better real-time performance, enhance the autonomous ability and improve resilience for the clustered conurbation CPPS, the decentralized cyber structure and the corresponding distributed security control strategy is proposed. Facing failures, the real-time security control is incorporated to mitigate cascading failures. The distributed security control problem is solved reliably based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The system overall resilience degradation index(SORDI) adopted reflects the influence of cascading failures on both the topological integrity and operational security. The case study illustrates the decentralized cyber layer and distributed control will decrease the data congestion and enhance the autonomous ability for clusters, thus perform better effectiveness in mitigating the cascading failures, especially in topological perspective. With the proposed distributed security control strategy, curves of SORDI show more characteristics of second-order percolation transition and the cascading failure threshold increase, which is more efficient when the initial failure size is near the threshold values or step-type inflection point. Because of the feature of geological aggregation under cluster-based attack, the efficiency of the cluster-focused distributed security control strategy is more obvious than other nodes attack circumstances.

The CPS-featured modern asynchronous grids interconnected with HVDC tie-lines facing the hazards from bulk power imbalance shock. With the aid of cyber layer, the SCPIFS incorporates the frequency stability constrains is put forwarded. When there is bulk power imbalance caused by HVDC tie-lines block incident or unplanned loads increasing, the proposed SCPIFS ensures the safety and frequency stability of both grids at two terminals of the HVDC tie-line, also keeps the grids operate economically. To keep frequency stability, the controllable variables in security control strategy include loads, generators outputs and the power transferred in HVDC tie-lines. McCormick envelope method and ADMM are introduced to solve the proposed SCPIFS optimization model. Case studies of two-area benchmark system verify the safety and economical benefits of the SCPFS. HVDC tie-line transferred power can take the advantage of low cost generator resource of both sides utmost and avoid the load shedding via tuning the power transferred through the operating tie-lines, thus the operation of both connected asynchronous grids is within the limit of frequency stability domain.
