The consensus of Cyber-Physical Power Systems (CPPSs), where generators agree on common desired rotor angles and speeds, is vital for maintaining system stability and efficiency. This study explores this consensus using fractional-order multi-agent systems, offering advantages over traditional methods. CPPSs often encounter issues like faults, uncertainties, disturbances, and cyber-attacks. To address these, a new Adaptive Fractional-Order Sliding Mode Controller (AFOSMC) is proposed, designed to achieve consensus despite unknown nonlinear functional upper bounds characterizing system perturbations. The AFOSMC uses stable adaptive laws to determine these unknown coefficients, ensuring robust performance even under adverse conditions. It outperforms conventional Integer-Order counterparts by reducing chattering and enabling faster convergence during the initial phase of CPPS operations. The AFOSMC also ensures finite-time convergence to the sliding surface, enhancing system responsiveness and stability. The controller's stability is rigorously proven using Lyapunov's theorem. Finally, extensive simulations demonstrate the practical benefits of the AFOSMC, and comparisons with recent research highlight its superior performance in robustness and efficiency.
