Detection and Mitigation of Load Redistribution Attacks in Power Distribution Systems Using Machine Learning
摘要
This paper analyzes the impact of load redistribution (LR) attacks on power distribution systems regarding significant operational constraints and vulnerabilities. LR attacks, a form of False Data Injection Attacks (FDIAs), manipulate load measurements, disturbing state estimation and causing severe operational disruptions. In response to this threat, we propose a resilient detection and mitigation scheme based on SVMs. The suggested method leverages real-time data analysis and advanced machine learning algorithms to enhance cyberattack resilience. Large-scale systematic simulations on the IEEE 123-node test case validate the performance of the proposed methodology, sustaining a 98.5% detection rate while significantly mitigating the adverse effects of LR attacks on voltage stability and power flow efficiency. The research identifies the potential of machine learning (ML)-based systems to enhance power distribution system security against cyber threats.
