Abstract:Electricity theft detection aims to identify and detect unauthorized or illegal electricity usage. In the context of rapid development of smart grid, achieving accurate electricity theft detection has become an important concern in both academia and industry. Aiming at the limitations of existing methods, which rely on manual feature design and have insufficient capability in low-level feature extraction, an electricity theft detection method based on deep hybrid attention network is proposed. The proposed model combines channel attention and self-attention mechanisms to capture complex features such as temporal dependencies and periodicity across different levels and spatial ranges in the data. Specifically, the model enhances the expression of low-level features using a channel attention network in the low layers, captures global contextual information using self-attention in the middle layers, and learns attention parameters through self-supervised learning to extract more expressive and discriminative feature representations. Experimental results on the national power grid dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance in terms of AUC and F1 scores.
