Abstract:

Advanced metering infrastructure is an important component in the construction of new power systems; however, advanced measurement systems rely on network information infrastructures and present major security issues. This study evaluates the network security posture of advanced metering systems by combining a hidden Markov model with an artificial immunity algorithm. First, a counting algorithm is used to obtain the security observation data in the power network. Subsequently, the Markov model is used to describe the change in the network security state, whereby the artificial immunity algorithm calculates the transfer probability matrix between different states. The state transfer matrix is then modified based on the state assessment error. Upon calculating the probability of being at different security states at different times and combining it with the risk loss vector, the final value of safety posture is obtained. The experiments demonstrate that the method proposed in this study has a good assessment effect and can capture the safety defects in the system more accurately, ensuring the safe operation of the advanced measurement system by accurately identifying the relevant safety defects in the system for a safe, smooth, and reliable operation of the new grid environment.
