{"title":"An Unsupervised Adversarial Autoencoder for Cyber Attack Detection in Power Distribution Grids","authors":"Mehdi Jabbari Zideh, Mohammad Reza Khalghani, Sarika Khushalani Solanki","doi":"arxiv-2404.02923","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2404.02923","url":null,"abstract":"Detection of cyber attacks in smart power distribution grids with unbalanced\u0000configurations poses challenges due to the inherent nonlinear nature of these\u0000uncertain and stochastic systems. It originates from the intermittent\u0000characteristics of the distributed energy resources (DERs) generation and load\u0000variations. Moreover, the unknown behavior of cyber attacks, especially false\u0000data injection attacks (FDIAs) in the distribution grids with complex temporal\u0000correlations and the limited amount of labeled data increases the vulnerability\u0000of the grids and imposes a high risk in the secure and reliable operation of\u0000the grids. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an unsupervised\u0000adversarial autoencoder (AAE) model to detect FDIAs in unbalanced power\u0000distribution grids integrated with DERs, i.e., PV systems and wind generation.\u0000The proposed method utilizes long short-term memory (LSTM) in the structure of\u0000the autoencoder to capture the temporal dependencies in the time-series\u0000measurements and leverages the power of generative adversarial networks (GANs)\u0000for better reconstruction of the input data. The advantage of the proposed\u0000data-driven model is that it can detect anomalous points for the system\u0000operation without reliance on abstract models or mathematical representations.\u0000To evaluate the efficacy of the approach, it is tested on IEEE 13-bus and\u0000123-bus systems with historical meteorological data (wind speed, ambient\u0000temperature, and solar irradiance) as well as historical real-world load data\u0000under three types of data falsification functions. The comparison of the\u0000detection results of the proposed model with other unsupervised learning\u0000methods verifies its superior performance in detecting cyber attacks in\u0000unbalanced power distribution grids.","PeriodicalId":501062,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Systems and Control","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140573357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
