ABSTRACT

The smart grid, a modernized electrical grid integrating advanced communication and information technologies, enables bidirectional flow of electricity and information, offering numerous benefits such as enhanced reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. However, the complexity and scale of the smart grid introduce new challenges, including the need for effective anomaly detection to ensure its secure and reliable operation. This research paper presents a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art anomaly detection techniques in smart grid applications. We explore various methodologies, including statistical methods, machine learning algorithms, and hybrid approaches, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of accurate data preprocessing and feature selection to enhance anomaly detection performance. Through a comparative analysis, we demonstrate the effectiveness of different techniques in detecting anomalies in smart grid datasets. Our findings provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in developing robust anomaly detection systems for smart grid applications, ultimately contributing to the advancement of smart grid technology.
