DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

2. Key concepts
There are four important concepts that need to be understood
1. A hazard is something currently in, or may in future be in, the work
environment that has the potential to cause harm to people.
2. A risk is the chance (or likelihood) that a hazard will cause harm to
people.
3. Harm is death, injury, illness (including psychological illness) or
disease that may be suffered by a person from a hazard or risk.
4. A control is a thing, work process or system of work that eliminates
an OHS hazard or risk or, if this is not reasonably practicable,
reduces the risk so far as reasonably practicable
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 2
3. Controlling OHS hazards and risks
Steps in controlling OHS hazards and risks
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 3
4. Step 1 – Identify hazards
•Mechanical hazards : Plant, equipment and items (and parts of them)
that have the potential to cut, rip, tear, abrade, crush, penetrate,
produce projectiles or cause sudden impact.
•Chemical and biological hazards Chemicals, compounds, materials,
powders, dusts and vapours that have the potential to impair health,
have adverse effects on human reproduction, cause disease or have
explosive, flammable, toxic or corrosive properties.
•Sources of energy A range of sources of energy that have the potential
to cause harm, including electricity, heat, cold, noise, high powered
light and damaging radioactive sources.
•Body stressing or impact hazards Activities that cause stress to the
muscles and/or skeleton, including manual handling of people, animals,
goods or materials and things or circumstances that can cause a person
to slip, trip or fall at the same level.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 4
5. •Gravity Activities that are carried out where a person can fall or an
object can fall onto people.
•Psychological hazards Events, systems of work or other
circumstances that have the potential to lead to psychological and
associated illness, including work-related stress, bullying, workplace
violence and work-related fatigue
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 5
6. Step 2 – Assess risks
Risk assessment is a process for developing knowledge and
understanding about hazards and risks so that sound decisions can be
taken about control.
Risk assessment assists in determining:
•What levels of harm can occur?
•How harm can occur?
•The likelihood that harm will occur.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 6
7. Step 3 – Control hazards and risks
Arriving at appropriate controls involves:
• Identifying the options for controls.
A control option may be a single control or it may be made up of a
number of different controls that together provide protection against a
risk.
• Considering the control options and selecting a suitable option that
most effectively eliminates or reduces risk in the circumstances.
• Implementing the selected option.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 7
8. Step 4 – Check controls
Common methods used to check the effectiveness of controls are:
• Inspecting the workplace
• consulting employees
• Testing and measuring
• Using available information
• Analysing records and data.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 8
9. National Safety policy

20. 8 Common Causes of Workplace Accidents
•The workplace can be dangerous, even more so in an industrial
environment. Numerous factors can cause accidents, ranging from
overexertion to mishandling of hazardous materials. There are also a
multitude of variables that can contribute to or influence a workplace
incident.
Lifting
•Many employees are prone to sprain, strain or tear a muscle by virtue
of lifting an object that is too heavy for them to lift on their own.
Fatigue
•Failing to take a break is another common cause of accidents. In
order to recover from grueling manual labor, it is essential that
employees take adequate breaks.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 20
21. Dehydration
• Not staying hydrated can also bring about disastrous consequences. On
exceptionally hot summer days, failing to drink adequate amounts of water
can cause heat stroke or cardiac conditions. This can be avoided by simply
drinking at least eight glasses of water per day. Management should stress
the importance of proper hydration and rest, as it maximizes the efforts of
personnel.
Poor Lighting
• Inadequate lighting is responsible for a number of accidents each year. This is
often overlooked when attempting to prevent accidents in the warehouse or
workplace.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 21
22. Hazardous Materials
• Improper handling of hazardous materials or not wearing personal
protective equipment (PPE) is another common cause of accidents in the
workplace. By reading material safety data sheets and providing the
appropriate protective attire, many workplace incidents can be avoided.
Acts of Workplace Violence
• Sadly, violence among co-workers has become all too common. It is usually
brought about by office politics or other sensitive issues.
Integrating conflict resolution and peer mediation can help to reduce the
risks of such outbursts.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 22
23. Trips and Falls
• Slick floors and high-traffic corridors can cause a trip or fall. Improper
footwear may also contribute to these accidents, which not only can result
in injuries but also workman’s compensation-related cases.
• Stress
• Stress is one of the leading causes of death. Stress can foster negative
effects physiologically, emotionally and mentally, as well as Weak or
distract any worker. Therefore, it is essential to encourage a supportive
team environment.

24. Accident investigation
WHAT IS IT?
Accident investigation is the process of determining the root causes of
accidents, on-the-job injuries, property damage, and close calls in
order to prevent them from occurring again.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Accident investigation will lead you to the real cause of why something
happened, and armed with that knowledge, you can take affirmative
steps to prevent future accidents from occurring.
28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 24
25. WHAT IS REQUIRED?
Develop an accident investigation process that focuses on:
• fact finding, not fault finding
• determining the root causes of why the event occurred
• making changes so the event does not happen again.
Set a policy that accidents and close calls (large and small) will be
investigated with equal energy.
Provide training and tools to staff conducting accident investigations.
Audit completed investigations to ensure they are being completed on a
timely basis with an adequate level of detail.

HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Workplace accidents should be investigated as soon as possible after they occur. The goals of a timely
and thorough accident investigation should be to:
• determine the cause of the accident
• prevent the accident from happening again
• improve health and safety conditions in the workplace
27. 28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 27
• determine whether a violation of federal or state safety and
health standards contributed to the accident
• determine company or individual liability in case of future legal
action
• determine the need for repairs or replacement of damaged
items
28. 28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 28
• determine the need for additional education and training for employees.
A thorough and complete accident investigation involves several steps,
specifically
• background investigation
• site investigation
• interviews
• analysis and reporting.

Accident Investigations
Accident investigation is of prime importance in a safety program. The purpose of
investigation is to find out different causes and circumstances that contributed both directly
and indirectly, to the accident with a view of taking necessary action to prevent their
recurrence in future.
Investigations have to be taken up immediately as a delay of even a few hours may lead to
loss of important evidence. Information on why the unsafe conditions existed and why the
injured person or others acted unsafely is of great importance.
30. 28-05-2022 Dept of Civil Engg AIET 30
Need for Accident Investigation
1. The purpose of accident investigation is to establish how an accident
happened and how to prevent it from happening again if you’re a safety
representative.
2. Reason to investigate a workplace accident include most importantly to
find out the cause of accidents and to prevent similar accidents in the
future to fulfil any legal requirements
• To determine the cost of an accident
• To determine compliance with applicable safety regulations
• To process workers compensations claims
3. Incidents that involve no injury or property damage should still be
investigated to determine the hazards that should be corrected.
31. Investigation Team
Factors considered in deciding how to approach accident investigations
include the following
❖Size of the company
❖Structure of the company’s safety and health program
❖Type of accident
❖Seriousness of the accident
❖Technical complexity
❖Number of times that similar accidents have occurred
❖Company’s management philosophy
❖Company’s commitment to safety and health
