Abstract: The safety and stability of power networks have become increasingly important in the field of industrial control. Traditional information analysis for power networks overly relies on expert know- ledge, and existing analysis models suffer from problems such as high algorithm complexity and rule redundancy. To address these issues, this paper proposes an advanced alarm information correlation analysis method that takes into account the characteristics of power networks. The method first eliminates noisy parts in the original alarm logs through a pre-processing module, then generates alarm transaction sets using a proposed method based on dynamic sliding time window, and subsequently applies the FP-Growth algorithm to mine alarm association rules for power networks. Finally, a time-based alarm rule filtering algorithm is proposed to eliminate invalid rules. Experiments conducted on alarm data collected from a situation awareness platform deployed in a power grid company show that this method reduces the redundancy of alarm rules by an average of about 30% compared to other similar association analysis method, and can effectively extract key alarm rules in power networks to guide fault warning.
