Large Language Models for Detecting Cyberattacks on Smart Grid Protective Relays

This paper presents a large language model LLM-based framework for detecting cyberattacks on transformer current differential relays TCDRs, which, if undetected, may trigger false tripping of critical transformers. The proposed approach adapts and fine-tunes compact LLMs such as DistilBERT to...

Neural Network-Based Detection and Multi-Class Classification of FDI Attacks in Smart Grid Home Energy Systems

False Data Injection Attacks FDIAs pose a significant threat to smart grid infrastructures, particularly Home Area Networks HANs, where real-time monitoring and control are highly adopted. Owing to the comparatively less stringent security controls and widespread availability of HANs, attackers...

Optimal Planning for Enhancing the Resilience of Modern Distribution Systems against Cyberattacks

The increasing integration of IoT-connected devices in smart grids has introduced new vulnerabilities at the distribution level. Of particular concern is the potential for cyberattacks that exploit high-wattage IoT devices, such as EV chargers, to manipulate local demand and destabilize the grid...

Large Language Model-Based Framework for Explainable Cyberattack Detection in Automatic Generation Control Systems

The increasing digitization of smart grids has improved operational efficiency but also introduced new cybersecurity vulnerabilities, such as False Data Injection Attacks FDIAs targeting Automatic Generation Control AGC systems. While machine learning ML and deep learning DL models have shown...

Auto-SGCR: Automated Generation of Smart Grid Cyber Range Using IEC 61850 Standard Models

Digitalization of power grids have made them increasingly susceptible to cyber-attacks in the past decade. Iterative cybersecurity testing is indispensable to counter emerging attack vectors and to ensure dependability of critical infrastructure. Furthermore, these can be used to evaluate...
