Differentiating Fault and Attack in Three-Terminal Lines Current Differential Relays
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Line current differential relays (LCDRs) are widely recognized for their speed and reliability in protecting three-terminal transmission lines under various operating conditions. However, their reliance on communication networks and GPS signals makes them susceptible to cyber threats. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by adversaries to inject false data, potentially leading to unintended tripping and even widespread system instability if attacks are coordinated. To overcome these issues, this study introduces a novel approach to distinguish between faults and false data injection attacks in three-terminal lines. The proposed method begins by determining the operational point in the LCDRs and activating the disturbance detection unit. It then proceeds by estimating the fault location and resistance based on the fault loop circuit analysis. If the estimated parameters fall within acceptable ranges, the condition is identified as a genuine fault. Otherwise, it is classified as an attack. This method relies on synchronized measurements, including three-phase currents from all terminals and the three-phase voltage from the local terminal where the fault locator is installed. This specific configuration of inputs supports the development of a fault-location algorithm tailored for LCDRs in multi-terminal systems. The effectiveness of the approach is validated through simulation studies using EMTP_RV software, with key results and insights presented and analyzed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
