Abstract False data injection attack (FDIA) can affect the state estimation of the power grid by tampering with the measured value of the power grid data, and then destroying the stable operation of the smart grid. Existing work usually trains a detection model by fusing the data-driven features from diverse power data streams. Data-driven features, however, cannot effectively capture the differences between noisy data and attack samples. As a result, slight noise disturbances in the power grid may cause a large number of false detections for FDIA attacks. To address this problem, this paper designs a… More >

Abstract Intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) are interconnected via communication networks and play pivotal roles in transmitting grid-related operational data and executing control instructions. In the context of the heightened security challenges within smart grids, IEDs pose significant risks due to inherent hardware and software vulnerabilities, as well as the openness and vulnerability of communication protocols. Smart grid security, distinct from traditional internet security, mainly relies on monitoring network security events at the platform layer, lacking an effective assessment mechanism for IEDs. Hence, we incorporate considerations for both cyber-attacks and physical faults, presenting security assessment indicators and… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Electricity theft is a widespread non-technical issue that has a negative impact on both power grids and electricity users. It hinders the economic growth of utility companies, poses electrical risks, and impacts the high energy costs borne by consumers. The development of smart grids is crucial for the identification of power theft since these systems create enormous amounts of data, including information on client consumption, which may be used to identify electricity theft using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Moreover, there also exist different solutions such as hardware-based solutions to detect electricity theft that… More >

Abstract False data injection attack (FDIA) is an attack that affects the stability of grid cyber-physical system (GCPS) by evading the detecting mechanism of bad data. Existing FDIA detection methods usually employ complex neural network models to detect FDIA attacks. However, they overlook the fact that FDIA attack samples at public-private network edges are extremely sparse, making it difficult for neural network models to obtain sufficient samples to construct a robust detection model. To address this problem, this paper designs an efficient sample generative adversarial model of FDIA attack in public-private network edge, which can effectively… More >

Abstract With increasing global concerns about clean energy in smart grids, the detection of power quality disturbances (PQDs) caused by energy instability is becoming more and more prominent. It is well acknowledged that the PQD effects on power grid equipment are destructive and hazardous, which causes irreversible damage to underlying electrical/electronic equipment of the concerned intelligent grids. In order to ensure safe and reliable equipment implementation, appropriate PQD detection technologies must be adopted to avoid such adverse effects. This paper summarizes the newly proposed and traditional PQD detection techniques in order to give a quick start More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract As an emerging hot technology, smart grids (SGs) are being employed in many fields, such as smart homes and smart cities. Moreover, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in SGs has promoted the development of the power industry. However, as users’ demands for electricity increase, traditional centralized power trading is unable to well meet the user demands and an increasing number of small distributed generators are being employed in trading activities. This not only leads to numerous security risks for the trading data but also has a negative impact on the cost of power generation,… More >

Abstract Due to the high inherent uncertainty of renewable energy, probabilistic day-ahead wind power forecasting is crucial for modeling and controlling the uncertainty of renewable energy smart grids in smart cities. However, the accuracy and reliability of high-resolution day-ahead wind power forecasting are constrained by unreliable local weather prediction and incomplete power generation data. This article proposes a physics-informed artificial intelligence (AI) surrogates method to augment the incomplete dataset and quantify its uncertainty to improve wind power forecasting performance. The incomplete dataset, built with numerical weather prediction data, historical wind power generation, and weather factors data,… More > Graphic Abstract
