The False data injection attack (FDIA) against the Cyber-Physical Power System (CPPS) is a kind of data integrity attack. With more and more cyber vulnerabilities detected out, different types of FDIAs are emerging as severe threats to the stable operation of CPPS gradually. In this paper, the invasion pathway of the FDIA against CPPS is explored in detail, and a novel FDIA detection model based on ensemble learning is further provided. First, a pseudo-sample database is built to assist the training and evaluation of this model, and it's more important to update the model in the future. Furthermore, the optimal feature set is extracted to characterize the behavior of the FDIA, which improves the precision of the FDIA detection model. Finally, a focal-loss-lightgbm (FLGB) ensemble classifier is constructed to detect the FDIA behavior automatically and accurately. We illustrated the performance of this model by a fusion of measurement data and power system audit logs. This model utilizes the offline training way, the conclusion shows the high precision and stability of this model, which ensures the stable operation of the smart grid and improves the FDIA resistance ability of the CPPS.
