Abstract

In the power industry, how to efficiently and reliably query relevant documents has always posed a challenge for electrical professionals. Unreliable or inefficient query results can lead to significant inefficiencies and introduce unpredictable errors. Hence, a reliable and efficient knowledge querying system is critical. In practice, the effectiveness of Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems lies in providing expressive representation of entities and graph structures and this makes it stand out as a widely-used approach for document retrieval. However, typical GraphRAG frameworks encounter challenges such as semantic dilution and topological drift caused by generic technical terminology and granular graph noise especially in professional documents like regulations, etc, which is one of the mostly used type of document in electric industry. Thus, we propose KG-Anchored RAG, a framework that shifts the retrieval paradigm from community-based summarization to precision-guided anchoring. During knowledge construction, our framework employs a topological skeleton refinement and constructs a Knowledge Attachment Matrix using latent topic modeling and one-hot feature injection. During inference, non-linear sharpening and PageRank-based structural resonance are utilized to locate high-density knowledge cells. Evaluation on professional documents in the power industry reveals that our method outperforms localized search baselines in terms of context precision, generative faithfulness, and ranking quality. The proposed framework demonstrates a superior ability to prioritize evidentiary clauses and reduce information redundancy without relying on computationally expensive external re-rankers. Experimental results indicate that KG-Anchored RAG effectively mitigates speculative hallucinations, establishes a reliable architectural paradigm for retrieval-augmented generation in high-stakes, safety-critical vertical industries.
