摘要

With the increasing digitization of power systems, cyberattacks such as False Data Injection (FDI) attacks pose serious threats to grid security by manipulating state estimations and triggering cascading failures. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for detecting, locating, and mitigating Load Redistribution (LR) attacks. First, we propose a novel detection algorithm based on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Graph Attention Networks (GATs) that exploit the topological structure and electrical properties of smart grids. Second, after successfully identifying LR attacks, we introduce a mitigation strategy formulated as a trilevel optimization problem, in which the system operator aims to maintain secure grid operation through corrective Security-Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC). The integrated framework is validated on the IEEE 118-bus system under various attack scenarios. Simulation results demonstrate the GNN/GAT-based detector’s ability to accurately localize attacks and the optimization-based mitigation strategy’s effectiveness in enhancing grid resilience.
