Subspace Methods for Data Attack on State Estimation: A Data Driven Approach
Data attacks on state estimation modify part of system measurements such that
the tempered measurements cause incorrect system state estimates. Attack
techniques proposed in the literature often require detailed knowledge of
system parameters. Such information is difficult to acquire in practice. The
subspace methods presented in this paper, on the other hand, learn the system
operating subspace from measurements and launch attacks accordingly. Conditions
for the existence of an unobservable subspace attack are obtained under the
full and partial measurement models. Using the estimated system subspace, two
attack strategies are presented. The first strategy aims to affect the system
state directly by hiding the attack vector in the system subspace. The second
strategy misleads the bad data detection mechanism so that data not under
attack are removed. Performance of these attacks are evaluated using the IEEE
14-bus network and the IEEE 118-bus network.Comment: 12 page

Modeling and performance evaluation of stealthy false data injection attacks on smart grid in the presence of corrupted measurements
The false data injection (FDI) attack cannot be detected by the traditional
anomaly detection techniques used in the energy system state estimators. In
this paper, we demonstrate how FDI attacks can be constructed blindly, i.e.,
without system knowledge, including topological connectivity and line reactance
information. Our analysis reveals that existing FDI attacks become detectable
(consequently unsuccessful) by the state estimator if the data contains grossly
corrupted measurements such as device malfunction and communication errors. The
proposed sparse optimization based stealthy attacks construction strategy
overcomes this limitation by separating the gross errors from the measurement
matrix. Extensive theoretical modeling and experimental evaluation show that
the proposed technique performs more stealthily (has less relative error) and
efficiently (fast enough to maintain time requirement) compared to other
methods on IEEE benchmark test systems.Comment: Keywords: Smart grid, False data injection, Blind attack, Principal
