Research on Intelligent Identification and Early Warning of Contractor Breach of Trust Behavior in Power Grid Infrastructure Project Management
Revolutionizing Risk Management in Power Grid Projects
This research introduces a hybrid AI model (LightGBM + Isolation Forest) for early detection and warning of contractor breach of trust in power grid infrastructure projects. It significantly improves identification accuracy (F1-Score 0.872, Recall 0.891, 70.4% improvement over traditional methods) and provides dynamic, tiered risk warnings up to 35 days in advance. The model uses multi-dimensional time-series data from project management platforms, transforming passive risk management into proactive prevention.
The core problem addressed is the difficulty in early identification and dynamic early warning of contractor breach of trust behavior in power grid infrastructure project management, leading to passive 'post-event handling', project delays, cost overruns, and safety incidents. Our AI solution is a hybrid model integrating LightGBM for supervised classification of known breach patterns and Isolation Forest for unsupervised anomaly detection in payment sequences. It constructs multi-dimensional time-series datasets and dynamic early warning features from power grid management platforms.

Power grid infrastructure projects are critical for national energy security and economic development. However, their long duration, multiple parties, and technical complexity make traditional manual supervision models ineffective for early identification of contractor breach of trust. This leads to passive 'post-event handling', causing project delays, cost overruns (15-30%), safety incidents, and substantial long-term maintenance costs. The inability to detect issues like delayed submissions, quality deficiencies, or non-compliance with safety protocols disrupts payment workflows and financial stability, highlighting an urgent need for intelligent early warning.
Existing methods in power grids suffer from two main limitations. Rule-based systems are intuitive but have delayed updates and narrow scopes, failing to capture complex risk signals and detect new or latent breaches. Machine learning approaches for credit assessment often rely on static features and historical labels, lacking multi-source data integration and time-series anomaly pattern mining, thus limiting early warning capabilities.
This paper introduces a hybrid model integrating LightGBM and Isolation Forest. It extracts multi-dimensional time-series data from power grid management platforms to construct dynamic features (payment efficiency, supervision status, performance stability). LightGBM classifies known breach patterns, while Isolation Forest detects anomalies in payment sequences. The combined output provides tiered early warning signals, moving beyond traditional rule-based systems to a data-driven, dynamic risk management tool.

The proposed hybrid model significantly outperforms traditional rule-based systems and other machine learning models across all metrics, with a 70.4% improvement in Recall over the Red/Green Light system, demonstrating superior capability in identifying breach behaviors. |

Case Study: Early Warning for Contractor C-7821
For contractor C-7821, a penalty notification was issued on May 10, 2023. Our hybrid model issued a high-risk early warning on April 5, 2023 – 35 days in advance. This early detection was triggered by a significant increase in the contractor's performance evaluation score volatility (LightGBM) and an abnormal peak in payment approval duration (Isolation Forest). This provided sufficient time for management to intervene proactively.
- 35 days early warning before actual penalty.
- Triggered by increased performance score volatility (LightGBM).
- Detected abnormal payment approval duration (Isolation Forest).
- Threshold optimization reduced false alarms from 18.3% to 12.7% and increased lead time from 25 to 32 days, enhancing business applicability.
