Given its widespread harm and impact, conducting in-depth research on FDIA detection is vitally important. This paper innovatively introduces a FDIA detection scheme: A Protected Federated Deep Learning (ProFed), which leverages Federated Averaging algorithm (FedAvg) as a foundational framework to fortify data security, harnesses pre-trained enhanced spatial-temporal graph neural networks (STGNN) to perform localized model training and integrates the Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song (CKKS) homomorphic encryption system to secure sensitive information. Simulation tests on IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art detection methods across all evaluation metrics, with peak improvements reaching up to 35%.
