The resilience of AC microgrids (MGs) in the face of communication disturbances, including variable delays, packet loss, packet corruption (noise), and limited bandwidth, is studied. A Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) platform is used to investigate the ramifications of these disturbances comprehensively. The MG cyber-physical system (CPS) integrates a real-time islanded AC microgrid deployed on RT-LAB, distributed secondary consensus controllers on single-board computers, and a real communication network infrastructure. Through meticulous analysis and experimentation, this research highlights the vulnerabilities of AC MGs to communication disturbances and their detrimental effects on the system resiliency, stability, and efficiency. The experiments emphasize the need for designing robust and adaptive control strategies that can effectively mitigate the effects of communication disruptions and enhance the overall reliability and performance of AC microgrid systems.
