In this paper a short-term load forecasting (STLF) hybrid strategy based on singular spectrum analysis (SSA) in combination with artificial neural networks (ANN), is presented. This STLF approach is aimed at detecting, identifying and eliminating and\/or correcting such bad data before it is provided to the state estimator. This approach is developed to improve the accuracy of the load forecasts and it is tested against real power load data provided by electricity suppliers. Depending on the week considered, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values which range from 1.6% to 3.4% are achieved for STLF. Different systematic errors, such as gain and offset error levels and outliers, are successfully detected with a hit rate of 98%, and the corresponding measurements are corrected before they are sent to the control center for state estimation purposes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18113947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,14]],"date-time":"2018-11-14T10:58:22Z","timestamp":1542193102000},"page":"3947","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A Hybrid Approach to Short-Term Load Forecasting Aimed at Bad Data Detection in Secondary Substation Monitoring Equipment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Pedro","family":"Mart\u00edn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, University of Alcal\u00e1, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guillermo","family":"Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, University of Alcal\u00e1, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8508-1898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco Javier","family":"Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, University of Alcal\u00e1, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Antonio","family":"Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, University of Alcal\u00e1, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ignacio","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, University of Alcal\u00e1, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1145\/1952982.1952995","article-title":"False Data Injection Attacks against State Estimation in Electric Power Grids","volume":"14","author":"Liu","year":"2011","journal-title":"ACM Trans.
