Abstract: load frequency control (LFC) is usually managed by traditional proportional integral derivative (PID)
controllers. Recently, deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based adaptive controllers have been widely studied for
their superior performance. However, the DRL-based adaptive controller exhibits inherent vulnerability due to
adversarial attacks. To develop more robust control systems, this study conducts a deep analysis of DRL-based
adaptive controller vulnerability under adversarial attacks. First, an adaptive controller is developed based on the
DRL algorithm. Subsequently, considering the limited capability of attackers, the DRL-based LFC is evaluated
under adversarial attacks using the zeroth-order optimization (ZOO) method. Finally, we use adversarial training
to enhance the robustness of DRL-based adaptive controllers. Extensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the
performance of the DRL-based PID controller with and without adversarial attacks.
