Abstract: Systems and methods for power system switching element (PSSE) anomaly detection are disclosed. An example PSSE anomaly detection unit may include a power system switching element position estimator (PSSEPE) and a comparison unit. The PSSEPE may be configured to receive a set of measurements and a set of control commands associated with a PSSE, calculate an anomaly confidence score based on the set of measurements and the set of control commands, and estimate a calculated PSSE position based on the set of measurements and the set of control commands. The comparison unit may be configured to receive the calculated PSSE position from the PSSEPE, receive the set of measurements and the set of control commands from the PSSEPE, receive a reported PSSE position associated with the PSSE, and determine a PSSE anomaly decision based on a difference between the reported PSSE position and the calculated PSSE position.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for mitigating electrical installation security threats. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may involve receiving a status signal for at least one digital communication channel associated with an electrical installation system. The systems and methods may further involve determining that a cybersecurity threat exists for an electrical installation system. The systems and methods may further involve inhibiting based on the status signal for the at least one digital communications channel and on a determination that the cybersecurity threat exists, further communications to one or more components of the electrical installation system via the at least one digital communication channel. The systems and methods may further involve activating a second communication channel for the one or more components of the electrical installation system.
