MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631051543 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Kalyani, West Bengal, on April 22, for 'gan-based dual-stream pv and load forecasting system with integrated false data injection (fdi) attack detection for smart grids.'

Inventor(s) include Partha Das; Gargi Roy; Debodyuti Updadhaya; Animesh Halder; Agnik Kundu; and Sayan Ghoai.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a GAN-based dual-stream photovoltaic (PV) and load forecasting system with integrated false data injection (FDI) attack detection for smart grids. The system collects real-time PV generation data, load consumption measurements, and meteorological parameters from distributed sensors, SCADA networks, and IoT-based smart meters. A preprocessing module performs time synchronization, noise filtering, normalization, and missing data identification. A Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based synthetic data engine generates realistic time-series samples to compensate for missing, corrupted, or low-quality measurements, thereby improving forecasting reliability. The invention employs two parallel forecasting engines, wherein a CNN-LSTM hybrid model is used for PV power forecasting and a BiLSTM with attention mechanism is used for load demand forecasting. Additionally, the system includes a real-time FDI attack detection module combining GAN discriminator authenticity scoring, autoencoder reconstruction error evaluation, and statistical deviation analysis to detect stealthy cyberattacks. Upon detection of anomalous or tampered data, a decision fusion layer replaces suspicious measurements with GAN-reconstructed synthetic values and generates validated forecasting outputs along with cybersecurity alerts. The invention ensures accurate forecasting, enhanced data integrity, and resilient smart grid operation under normal and adversarial conditions."
