Abstract

In the context of rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, new technologies, such as federated learning and edge computing, have been widely applied in the power Internet of Things (PIoT). When compared to the traditional centralized training approach, conventional federated learning (FL) significantly enhances privacy protection. Nonetheless, the approach poses privacy concerns, such as inferring other users’ training data through the global model or user-transferred parameters. In light of these challenges, this research paper introduces a novel privacy-preserving data aggregation scheme for the smart grid, bolstered by an improved FL technique. The secure multi-party computation (SMC) and differential privacy (DP) are skillfully combined with FL to combat inference attacks during both the learning process and output inference stages, thus furnishing robust privacy assurances. Through this approach, a trusted third party can securely acquire model parameters from power data holders and securely update the global model in an aggregated way. Moreover, the proposed secure aggregation scheme, as demonstrated through security analysis, achieves secure and reliable data aggregation in the electric PIoT environment. Finally, the experimental analysis shows that the proposed scheme effectively performs federated learning tasks, achieving good model accuracy and shorter execution times.
