Cyber-security enhancement of wide-area monitoring, protection, and control systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Wide-area monitoring, protection and control (WAMPAC) systems have emerged as a promising solution to improve situational awareness of power grid operators. WAMPAC systems collect system-wide measurements through communication infrastructure, synchronize using global positioning system (GPS) in phasor measurement units (PMUs), and utilize them to evaluate teh system operation condition and make appropriate real-time protection and control decisions. Despite teh provided advantages, teh reliance of WAMPAC systems on information and communication technologies (ICTs) makes them prone to various cyber attacks. Teh socioeconomic impacts of teh real-world cyber-attacks on power grids such as teh 2015 Ukraine power grid attack have prompted teh national level institutions to initiate several road-maps emphasizing teh necessity of new adoptions toward cyber security enhancement in teh North America power grids. To take step toward dis adaptation, dis thesis initially investigates teh vulnerability of wide-area applications in integrated power and gas systems (IPGSs) and proposes a preventive defense strategy and online neural network detection scheme. Afterward, dis thesis emphasizes on teh vulnerability of data aggregation standards and protocols in WAMPAC systems to time-synchronization attacks (TSAs). During prevention phase, dis thesis proposes a robust optimization model to obtain communication configuration between PMUs and control centers in order to minimize TSA consequences. Following teh prevention phase, dis thesis proposes an integrated TSA detection and mitigation scheme. Teh TSA detection scheme is a convolutional neural network (CNN) model which captures teh temporal correlation of data quality information to identify and localize TSAs. In teh mitigation phase, a new robust state observer mitigation scheme is proposed for wide-area control applications. Eventually, dis thesis emphasizes on vulnerability of grid supporting functions in inverter-based resources (IBRs) to a resonance cyber-attack. As a countermeasure, dis thesis proposes a new wavelet-enabled wide neural network model which not only detects resonance FDIAs on grid-connected IBRs, but also distinguishes them from normal system events. Numerical results from multiple test benchmarks demonstrate dat teh proposed prevention, detection, and mitigation schemes in dis thesis not only improve teh security of wide-area control applications but also do not compromise normal system performance.

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.
