HIERARCHICAL APPROACH TO CYBER ATTACK DETECTION AND LOCALIZATION IN ACTIVE DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Abstract

The increasing reliance on Active Distribution Networks (ADNs) for efficient energy distribution has also made them vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can significantly impact the reliability and stability of the power grid. The complexity and dynamic nature of ADNs require advanced cybersecurity mechanisms to detect and localize cyber attacks in real-time, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. This paper proposes a hierarchical approach to cyber attack detection and localization in ADNs, designed to enhance the resilience and security of these networks.
