        1 - A Comprehensive Method to Secure Time Synchronization in Wireless Sensor
        Z. Ahmadi  
        One of the important requirements of sensor networks is synchronization of the nodes. The importance of time in sensor networks causes the adversary tries to disturb time synchronization by altering and faking messages, delaying or replying them, compromising the nodes More
        One of the important requirements of sensor networks is synchronization of the nodes. The importance of time in sensor networks causes the adversary tries to disturb time synchronization by altering and faking messages, delaying or replying them, compromising the nodes and sending false messages via them. Up to now, there is no method that is able to provide both synchronization and security needs of sensor networks simultaneously. In this paper, we suggest a method that is capable to provide precise synchronization, along with low communication and computational overhead, low convergence time and high security against internal and external attacks. Simulation and analytic results show the preference of our method compared to other available methods. Manuscript profile

        In many microgrid control methods, the output information of sensors and actuators of neighbouring distributed generators (DGs) is used to stabilize and synchronize voltage and frequency. Many problems such as disturbances, uncertainty, unmodeled dynamics, cyber-attacks, noise, time delay, and measurement errors cause invalid data problems and errors in the system. Better microgrid control depends on the quality of data measured or sent from the output of sensors and actuators. In this paper, according to the advantages of the Cooperative distributed hierarchical control, it is used for control and synchronization in the islanded microgrid with the presence of sensor and actuator error. To synchronize DGs with multi-agent systems and communication channels, it is modeled with graph theory. To stabilize and synchronize, sensor and actuator error in the DG model is mathematically formulated. In the proof of stability and synchronization, the appropriate Lyapunov candidate is presented and the conditions of stability and synchronization are proved. Finally, to show the effectiveness of the designed controller in solving communication channel problems and verifying the presented theory, a case study is simulated in the MATLAB/Simulink software environment with the presence of error and cyber-attack of sensors and actuators.
