Abstract - The increasing adoption of smart grid systems has revolutionized the power distribution landscape, providing enhanced efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. However, the integration of modern technologies and communication networks has also introduced cybersecurity challenges, exposing the smart grid to potential threats and attacks. To address this critical issue, we propose a novel approach for detecting threats in smart grid systems using a sequential algorithm based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. Our research focuses on leveraging the temporal nature of smart grid data, which is inherently sequential in nature due to the continuous flow of sensor readings and telemetry information. The proposed LSTM-based sequential algorithm is designed to analyze time-series data, allowing it to capture complex patterns and dependencies characteristic of both normal grid behavior and potential security breaches. The methodology involves collecting labeled data from various smart grid sources, including power meters, sensors, communication devices, and control systems. The data undergoes preprocessing to handle missing values, normalization, and feature extraction, enabling effective model training. The LSTM model is then trained on the labeled data, optimizing its architecture and hyperparameters to achieve accurate threat detection. To ensure real-time threat monitoring, the trained model is deployed in the smart grid servers, where it continuously ingests and analyzes incoming data streams. The real-time threat detection system enhances the security and resilience of smart grid networks, safeguarding critical infrastructure and ensuring a stable and reliable power supply.
