Abstract :
This paper is concerned about strategic deployment of feeder remote terminal unit (FRTU) in primary network by considering cybersecurity of distribution secondary network. First, detection of historical anomaly load profile in secondary network is assumed to be observable. These irregularities of historical energy usages can be determined from consumer billing centers using proposed cybersecurity metrics. While it is constrained by budget on the number of FRTUs that can be deployed, the proposed algorithm identifies pivotal locations of a distribution feeder to install the FRTUs in different time horizons. The simulation results show that the infrastructure enhancement using proposed multistage method improves investment planning for distribution systems.
