Effective anomaly detection in power grid engineering is essential for ensuring the reliability of dispatch and operation. Traditional anomaly detection methods based on manual review and expert experience cannot be adapted to the current rapid increases in project data. In this work, to address this issue, knowledge graph technology is used to build an anomaly detection dataset. Considering the over-smoothing problem associated with multi-level GCN networks, a deep skip connection framework for anomaly detection on attributed networks called DIET is proposed for anomaly detection on ultra-high voltage (UHV) projects. Furthermore, a distance-based object function is added to the conventional object function, which gives DIET the ability to process multiple attributes of the same type. Several comparative experiments are conducted using five state-of-the-art algorithms. The results of the receiver operating characteristic with the area under the curve (ROC-AUC) indicator show a 12% minimum improvement over other methods. Other evaluation indicators such as precision@K and recall@K indicate that DIET can achieve a better detection rate with less ranking. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed model, a parameter analysis of the number of GCN layers is also performed. The results show that relatively few layers are needed to achieve good results with small datasets.
