Anomaly detection is an important issue heavily investigated within different research areas and application domains. Its application in the industrial systems sector may be essential also for the protection of critical infrastructures. Due to the huge amount of involved data and to their complexity the use of machine learning may be the clue. The basic idea is describing an industrial process by a series of key attributes whose measures (the features) compose a state vector including heterogeneous types of measurements. Each feature should be a key attribute which can help discriminate between a normal functioning condition and an anomaly. In this context, the paper presents the use of a deep neural network architecture called autoencoder to detect anomalies due to either system faults or cyberattacks. The chosen application field is a photovoltaic system connected to the grid. The results, even if preliminary, are really promising.

Abstract
Anomaly detection is an important issue heavily investigated within different research areas and application domains. Its application in the industrial systems sector may be essential also for the protection of critical infrastructures. Due to the huge amount of involved data and to their complexity the use of machine learning may be the clue. The basic idea is describing an industrial process by a series of key attributes whose measures (the features) compose a state vector including heterogeneous types of measurements. Each feature should be a key attribute which can help discriminate between a normal functioning condition and an anomaly. In this context, the paper presents the use of a deep neural network architecture called autoencoder to detect anomalies due to either system faults or cyberattacks. The chosen application field is a photovoltaic system connected to the grid. The results, even if preliminary, are really promising.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
