From Cycle Space to Cycle Manifold: Limits and Achievability of Blind False Data Injection Attacks

The paper investigates blind false data injection attacks (FDIAs) on power grids, showing that for a connected DC branch‑flow model the residual‑sensitive subspace equals the weighted cycle space. This space is both necessary and sufficient for constructing complete stealthy attacks, revealing that only cycle‑space knowledge is required. The authors propose a benchmark, a measurement‑only reconstruction method, and extend the analysis to AC systems via a cycle manifold, demonstrating practical attack generation on GPUs.

Physically Consistent Null Space Alignment for Detection of Low-Magnitude False Data Injection Attacks

arXiv:2606. 08473v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: False data injection attacks (FDIAs) introducing small measurement perturbations can still cause large deviations in power system state estimation when the injected signals align with the pseudo-null space of the system model.

Audited Selective Verification for Risk-Controlled N-1 Thermal Contingency Screening under Deployment Shift

arXiv:2607. 13221v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time N-1 contingency screening in an energy management system trades assurance against cost: verifying every credible outage with full power flow is too slow, while fast linear-sensitivity screening gives no statistical guarantee and can silently pass unsafe operating points, especially when a controller drives the system into unfamiliar regimes.

FlowGuard: Flow Matching for Identity-Independent Detection of Data-Free Model Stealing Attacks on Energy System Intrusion Detection Systems

arXiv:2606. 03430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) deployed in energy infrastructure are vulnerable to model theft attacks, which allow adversaries to create evasive traffic offline.
