• Abstract: This paper proposes a joint multi-objective optimization framework for strategic sensor placement in power systems to enhance attack detection. A novel physics-informed graph transformer network (PIGTN)-based detection model is proposed. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) jointly optimizes sensor locations and the PIGTN's detection performance, while considering practical constraints. The combinatorial space of feasible sensor placements is explored using NSGA-II, while concurrently training the proposed detector in a closed-loop setting. Compared to baseline sensor placement methods, the proposed framework consistently demonstrates robustness under sensor failures and improvements in detection performance in seven benchmark cases, including the 14, 30, IEEE-30, 39, 57, 118 and the 200 bus systems. By incorporating AC power flow constraints, the proposed PIGTN-based detection model generalizes well to unseen attacks and outperforms other graph network-based variants (topology-aware models), achieving improvements up to 37% in accuracy and 73% in detection rate, with a mean false alarms rate of 0.3%. In addition, optimized sensor layouts significantly improve the performance of power system state estimation, achieving a 61%--98% reduction in the average state error.
