From: A narrative perspective of island detection methods under the lens of cyber-attack in data-driven smart grid

Island detection methods

Type of cyber attack

Denial-of-services attack

False data injection

Replay attack

Malware-virus attack

Web-attack

Cross-site-scripting attack

Remote

Fail

Fail

Fail

Fail

May work on SCADA and transfer tripping

Active

Fail

May fail (depends on the nature of VPN)

May fail (depends on the nature of GOOSE message)

Fail

Fail

May work (depend on nature of phase perturbation injection)

Passive

May work if it works on traditional ROCOF on not receiving any signal

May fail (depends on the nature of VPN)

May fail (depends on the nature of GOOSE message)

May work if it works on traditional ROCOF on not receiving any signal

May work if it works on modified Kalman filter based technique

Signal Processing

May work if it works on traditional ROCOF on not receiving any signal

May work if the signal processor rapidly adapts to new data formats

May work if the signal processor detects bad data

May work if the signal communication is through cloud based information and communication technology

May work with Deep learning techniques and cloud computing

Fail

Intelligence

May work if it works on traditional ROCOF on not receiving any signal

May work if the classifier is also trained for false data detection

May work with Deep learning techniques
