Abstract
The smart grid is a critical cyber-physical infrastructure; attackers may exploit vulnerabilities to launch cyber attacks. The smart grid control system relies heavily on the communication infrastructure among sensors, actuators, and control systems, making it vulnerable to cyber-attacks. We propose a method for injecting a false data injection attack (FDIA) into the smart grid using generative adversarial networks (GAN). A sample of disturbance vectors generated using deep temporal convolutional GAN (DTCGAN) is superimposed on the original phasor measurement unit (PMU) measurements to generate compromised data. The performance results show a significant impact of the developed attack on data-driven methods for grid monitoring. Specifically, we demonstrated the attack on a transient stability application.
