Modern smart grid systems are heavily dependent on Information and Communication Technology, and this dependency makes them prone to cyberattacks. The occurrence of a cyberattack has increased in recent years resulting in substantial damage to power systems. For a reliable and stable operation, cyber protection, control, and detection techniques are becoming essential. Automated detection of cyberattacks with high accuracy is a challenge. To address this, we propose a two-layer hierarchical machine learning model having an accuracy of 95.44 % to improve the detection of cyberattacks. The first layer of the model is used to distinguish between the two modes of operation (normal state or cyberattack). The second layer is used to classify the state into different types of cyberattacks. The layered approach provides an opportunity for the model to focus its training on the targeted task of the layer, resulting in improvement in model accuracy. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed model, we compared its performance against other recent cyber attack detection models proposed in the literature.

False Data Injection (FDI) attacks are a common form of Cyber-attack targetting smart grids. Detection of stealthy FDI attacks is impossible by the current bad data detection systems. Machine learning is one of the alternative methods proposed to detect FDI attacks. This paper analyzes three various supervised learning techniques, each to be used with three different feature selection (FS) techniques. These methods are tested on the IEEE 14-bus, 57-bus, and 118-bus systems for evaluation of versatility. Accuracy of the classification is used as the main evaluation method for each detection technique. Simulation study clarify the supervised learning combined with heuristic FS methods result in an improved performance of the classification algorithms for FDI attack detection.
Existing coordinated cyber-attack detection methods have low detection accuracy and efficiency and poor generalization ability due to difficulties dealing with unbalanced attack data samples, high data dimensionality, and noisy data sets. This paper proposes a model for cyber and physical data fusion using a data link for detecting attacks on a Cyber-Physical Power System (CPPS). Two-step principal component analysis (PCA) is used for classifying the systems operating status. An adaptive synthetic sampling algorithm is used to reduce the imbalance in the categories samples. The loss function is improved according to the feature intensity difference of the attack event, and an integrated classifier is established using a classification algorithm based on the cost-sensitive gradient boosting decision tree (CS-GBDT). The simulation results show that the proposed method provides higher accuracy, recall, and F-Score than comparable algorithms.
Due to the advances in computing and sensing, deep learning (DL) has widely been applied in smart energy systems (SESs). These DL-based solutions have proved their potentials in improving the effectiveness and adaptiveness of the control systems. However, in recent years, increasing evidence shows that DL techniques can be manipulated by adversarial attacks with carefully-crafted perturbations. Adversarial attacks have been studied in computer vision and natural language processing. However, there is very limited work focusing on the adversarial attack deployment and mitigation in energy systems. In this regard, to better prepare the SESs against potential adversarial attacks, we propose an innovative adversarial attack model that can practically compromise dynamical controls of energy system. We also optimize the deployment of the proposed adversarial attack model by employing deep reinforcement learning (RL) techniques. In this paper, we present our first-stage work in this direction. In simulation section, we evaluate the performance of our proposed adversarial attack model using standard IEEE 9-bus system.
Modern electric power grid, known as the Smart Grid, has fast transformed the isolated and centrally controlled power system to a fast and massively connected cyber-physical system that benefits from the revolutions happening in the communications and the fast adoption of Internet of Things devices. While the synergy of a vast number of cyber-physical entities has allowed the Smart Grid to be much more effective and sustainable in meeting the growing global energy challenges, it has also brought with it a large number of vulnerabilities resulting in breaches of data integrity, confidentiality and availability. False data injection (FDI) appears to be among the most critical cyberattacks and has been a focal point interest for both research and industry. To this end, this paper presents a comprehensive review in the recent advances of the defence countermeasures of the FDI attacks in the Smart Grid infrastructure. Relevant existing literature are evaluated and compared in terms of their theoretical and practical significance to the Smart Grid cybersecurity. In conclusion, a range of technical limitations of existing false data attack detection researches are identified, and a number of future research directions are recommended.
In this paper a novel approach to co-design controller and attack detector for nonlinear cyber-physical systems affected by false data injection (FDI) attack is proposed. We augment the model predictive controller with an additional constraint requiring the future---in some steps ahead---trajectory of the system to remain in some time-invariant neighborhood of a properly designed reference trajectory. At any sampling time, we compare the real-time trajectory of the system with the designed reference trajectory, and construct a residual. The residual is then used in a nonparametric cumulative sum (CUSUM) anomaly detector to uncover FDI attacks on input and measurement channels. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested with a nonlinear model regarding level control of coupled tanks.
