False data injection threats in active distribution systems: A comprehensive survey

With the proliferation of smart devices and revolutions in communications, electrical distribution systems are gradually shifting from passive, manually-operated inflexible ones, to a massively interconnected cyber–physical grid address energy challenges future. However, integration several cutting-edge technologies has introduced many security privacy vulnerabilities due large-scale complexity resource limitations deployments. Recent research trends have shown that False Data Injection (FDI) attacks becoming one most malicious cyber threats within entire paradigm. Therefore, this paper presents comprehensive survey recent advances FDI active proposes taxonomy classify with respect targets. The related studies contrasted summarized terms attack methodologies implications on power networks. Finally, we identify some gaps recommend number future directions guide motivate prospective researchers.
