Deep learning-based optimal power flow solution with applications to operating electrical power systems
20230085739 · 2023-03-23 ·

DeepOPF-V, a deep neural network (DNN)-based voltage-constrained approach for solving an alternating-current optimal power flow (AC-OPF) problem, is used to determine an operating point of an AC electrical power system. DeepOPE-V advantageously uses two DNNs to separately determine voltage magnitudes and voltage phase angles of buses in the system without cross-over operations between the two DNNs. A computation complexity is reduced when compared to using a single DNN for generating both the magnitudes and phase angles, allowing high computation efficiency achieved by DeepOPE-V. Remaining variables of the system are computed based on the determined magnitudes and phase angles. A solution for the operating condition is predicted. A fast post-processing (PP) method is developed to improve the feasibility of the predicted solution. The PP method uses linear adjustment to adjust the predicted solution to improve the solution feasibility while enabling fast execution of the PP method.

EVENT ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY

Techniques and apparatus presented herein are directed toward monitoring an electric power delivery system to detect and locate a power generation event. A power generation event may include a tripped generator, a loss of a transmission line, or other loss of power generation. To detect the event, an analysis engine may receive and monitor input data. A detection signal may be generated based on the input data. Upon detecting the event, the analysis engine may determine a source and propagation of the event through the delivery system. Based on the source and propagation of the event, the analysis engine may determine the location of the event. The analysis engine may generate an overlay with the input data to provide the location and other information about the event to a user such that remedial action can be taken to resolve the event and restore the lost power generation.
