Abstract

This dataset contains exchanged messages of an agent-based control use case in cyber-physical energy systems. The agents perform unit control, given a target schedule from an operator. Two versions of a cyber attack are considered, in which a system shutdown occurs. Over time, more and more units are shut down, from 0% up to 50%. The data without any attack and the effects of the attacks are published here: https://zenodo.org/records/18623941 Overall, three types of agent sizes are given: 50 agents, 100 agents, and 150 agents. For each of the network sizes, normal data and data for both attack variants are provided. This dataset considers three different kinds of control to react to the cyber attacks: a centralized controller, considering control actions affecting the entire system, a decentralized controller, only focusing on one agent, and a multi-level setting, in which a centralized and decentralized controller are combined. Different kinds of control actions are considered: forming a new communication topology, building a new topology, and reassigning the task(s) of the affected agent(s). The new communication topology excludes the affected agent(s).
