This study focuses on anomaly detection in cyber-physical systems (CPS) using an efficient and sustainable approach.The proposed hybrid TDC-AE approach captures the dynamics of the system by leveraging time correlations in sensor data.It achieves state-of-the-art classification performance, outperforming the BATADAL challenge leader without domain-specific knowledge.The hybrid structure maintains computational efficiency, making it broadly applicable and enhances the resilience of CPS.
