AI-Enhanced Resilience in Power Systems: Adversarial Deep Learning for Robust Short-Term Voltage Stability Assessment under Cyber-Attacks

Abstract

In the era of Industry 4.0, ensuring the resilience of cyber-physical systems against sophisticated cyber threats is increasingly critical. This study proposes a pioneering AI-based control framework that enhances short-term voltage stability assessments (STVSA) in power systems under complex composite cyber-attacks. First, by incorporating white-box and black-box adversarial attacks with Denial-of-Service (DoS) perturbations during training, composite adversarial attacks are implemented. Second, the application of Spectral Normalized Conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty (SNCWGAN-GP) and Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) strengthens the model's resistance to adversarial disturbances, improving data quality and training stability. Third, an assessment model based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-enhanced Graph Attention Network (L-GAT) is developed to capture dynamic relationships between the post-fault dynamic trajectories and electrical grid topology. Experimental results on the IEEE 39-bus test system demonstrate the efficacy and superiority of the proposed method in composite cyber-attack scenarios. This contribution is pivotal to advancing AI-based resilient control strategies for nonlinear dynamical systems, marking a substantial enhancement in the security of cyber-physical systems.
