Power systems are beginning to fully capitalize on near real-time data available from phasor measurement units (PMUs). These are sensors which measure different characteristics of the electrical grid’s state from a particular location. The Bonneville Power Administration has led the industry in installing these sensors on sites around the western US and advancing their use. The data involved is both fine-grained, providing sixty measurements each second, and high-dimensional, measuring many signals at each site. As systems operation increasingly incorporates the data from PMUs, ensuring their data integrity becomes critical: in similar security situations, attackers have delayed the detection of physical sabotage by falsifying sensors’ data to indicate normal operation. In addition, as the volume of data is far too great for entirely human examination, data spoofing could aim to disrupt automated systems’ function. Our research seeks to make it possible to monitor PMU data integrity by training classifiers to distinguish between authentic and spoofed data. The characteristics of electrical signals are such that signals from sites that are electrically close should show high correlation, which a local attack may be unable to replicate. We are able to detect with high accuracy spoofed data generated and included among previously measured grid data, and are moving towards detecting spoofed data we inject live into a network of research PMUs.
