Transient voltage stability assessment of renewable energy grid based on residual SDE-Net

Guest Editorial: Situational awareness of integrated energy systems

Transient stability assessment (TSA) is a cornerstone for resilient operations of today’s interconnected power grids. This paper is a confluence of quantum computing, data science and machine learning to potentially address the power system TSA issue. We devise a quantum TSA (QTSA) method to enable efficient data-driven transient stability prediction for bulk power systems, which is the first attempt to tackle the TSA issue with quantum computing. Our contributions are three-fold: 1) A high expressibility, low-depth quantum circuit (HELD) is designed for accurate and noise-resilient TSA; 2) A quantum natural gradient descent algorithm is developed for efficient HELD training and 3) A systematical analysis on QTSA’s performance under various quantum factors is performed. QTSA underpins a foundation of quantum machine learning-enabled power grid stability analytics. It renders the intractable TSA straightforward and effortless in the Hilbert space, and therefore provides stability information for power system operations. Extensive experiments on quantum simulators and real quantum computers verify the accuracy, noise-resilience, scalability and universality of QTSA.

The world’s energy industry is experiencing a significant transformation due to increased energy consumption, the rise in renewable energy usage, and the demand for sustainability. This review paper explores the potential for transformation offered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving energy infrastructure, specifically looking at how it can be used in managing smart grids, predicting maintenance needs, and integrating renewable energy sources. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are crucial AI technologies that have become necessary for enhancing grid stability, reducing operational costs, and improving energy efficiency. AI-powered predictive maintenance has proven to lower unexpected downtime by 40%, while AI-based demand forecasting has reached prediction accuracy of 90%, allowing utilities to efficiently manage supply and demand. In addition, AI helps tackle the issues of fluctuating renewable energy by playing a key role in enhancing energy storage and distribution in nations like Denmark and the US. Moreover, cryptographic frameworks such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) offer robust security measures to protect AI-driven energy systems. ECC provides lightweight, efficient encryption ideal for IoT-enabled grids, while PQC frameworks, like the SIKE algorithm, ensure long-term resilience against quantum computing threats, safeguarding critical infrastructure. Nevertheless, obstacles like limited data access, cybersecurity weaknesses, and financial limitations continue to hinder widespread AI implementation, especially in less developed areas. This review emphasizes the significance of adopting essential strategies such as smart grid development, public-private collaborations, strong regulatory frameworks, and standardized data-sharing protocols. It is essential to have strong implementation and monitoring systems, improved cybersecurity measures, and ongoing investment in AI research in order to fully harness AI’s ability to revolutionize energy systems. By tackling these obstacles, AI has the potential to significantly impact the development of a more enduring, productive, and flexible worldwide energy system, hastening the shift towards a renewable-focused energy landscape.

This study presents a novel Fuzzy Logic-Based Energy Management model that aims to optimize the incorporation of renewable energy sources into smart grids. The research used simulated data to evaluate the model's performance in important metrics, revealing significant improvements in the consumption of renewable energy, stability of the grid, dependability of energy storage, and overall efficiency of the system. The Fuzzy Logic Controller adjusts energy distribution in response to current inputs, leading to a significant 20% improvement in the usage of renewable energy. The capacity to adapt is crucial in dealing with the inherent fluctuation of solar, wind, and biomass sources. The approach greatly improves grid stability, as shown by a 15% decrease in grid frequency variations, highlighting its efficacy in assuring a more regulated and steady electricity supply. Furthermore, the dependability of energy storage systems exhibits a notable 25% enhancement in the state of charge, suggesting optimal cycles of charging and discharging. This increased dependability enhances the stability of the energy supply during times of high demand and variations in the power system. The Fuzzy Logic-Based Energy Management model exhibits a significant 22% improvement in total system efficiency when compared to conventional management systems. This indicator encompasses the model's combined effect on the usage of renewable energy, the stability of the power grid, and the optimization of energy storage. Comparative analyses conducted against traditional control strategies, such as proportional-integral-derivative controllers, consistently demonstrate the superiority of the fuzzy logic approach. This approach results in a 10% decrease in grid frequency deviations, a 15% enhancement in energy storage state of charge, and a 12% boost in overall system efficiency. The resilience of the Fuzzy Logic Controller is highlighted by sensitivity analysis, since it demonstrates consistent performance even when parameters vary significantly. The model's practical usefulness and adherence to ethical principles are further confirmed by validation using real-world data from operational smart grid installations. This study provides valuable insights, establishing the Fuzzy Logic-Based Energy Management model as an innovative method for addressing the difficulties associated with integrating renewable energy into smart grids. This model promotes a more sustainable and efficient energy environment for the future.

Machine learning is playing an increasingly important role in transient stability assessment. One of the key challenges of machine learning-based transient stability assessment in the case of dealing with large-scale and high-dimensional data samples of AC-DC power systems is to eliminate redundant variables to improve the training speed and quickly determine the optimal parameters of the adopted algorithms. Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes a Bayesian optimization-based XGBoost (B-XGBoost) method for transient stability assessment of power systems. The method uses serial integration of multiple regression trees to calculate the importance ranking of transient stability features. Combined with correlation analysis, the relationship between input data and transient stability can be explored more intuitively, and redundant variables can be eliminated; Bayesian optimization is used in training to quickly determine the best parameters of the model. Simulations are performed in a 39-node AC-DC system, and the results show that the B-XGBoost transient stability evaluation method has higher accuracy and a significant advantage in speed compared with other machine learning-based methods such as GBDT, DBN, RF, SVM.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to conduct standard stability studies on modern power systems due to the growing use of power electronic devices. Power electronic converters, regardless of their power or voltage, must contend with a rising challenge known as electromagnetic transient stability. For power system stability analysis and control, transient stability assessment (TSA) is essential. On the basis of numerical integration of the dynamics equations for an EPS under consideration at a particular disturbance, a method for assessing transient stability reserves is described. In order to improve the transient stability of hybrid AC/DC power systems, a multi-HVDC emergency coordinated modulating method has been suggested in this study. Multi-DC lines are used to build and test the AC/DC hybrid power system. Machine learning models that forecast power system transient stability are more reliable, versatile, and robust if they incorporate knowledge of power system dynamics into their data gathering process. Fault location and how disturbance effects spread over the network are critical for determining unstable regions of operation, thus this determination is made using domain knowledge. That’s why traditional machine learning models may now be used in an instance transfer learning framework thanks to a whole new data gathering technique. Therefore, the suggested solution does not rely primarily on the collected data, but also incorporates system insights.

Deep learning-based transient stability assessment framework for large-scale modern power system

This article presents the Lyapunov functions based on the artificial intelligence (AI) method for transient stability assessment and the determination of stability region (SR). First, Lyapunov stability theory and the definition of SR are introduced. Then, the characteristics of neural networks as a general function approximator are employed as the Lyapunov function learner, and the Lyapunov function is constructed combined with stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Then, the falsifier's task is to find the state vectors that violate Lyapunov stability conditions, and the counterexamples would be added to the training set for the function learner to accelerate convergence. After obtaining the Lyapunov function of power system, the estimation of SR boundary can be represented by the maximum level set of Lyapunov function. Finally, the IEEE 9-bus 3-machine system is used as test system to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed construction method of Lyapunov functions for power system transient stability analysis.

In smart power grid, communication network is an integral fragment that communicate vital information to various stakeholders for efficient transmission of electricity. For autonomous functioning of power system, the sensor node connected to grid components enable information sharing for monitoring and control of the state of the grid. Also, the smart grid deployment scenarios require data communication to various grid nodes to be reliable, secure and standards compliant. In this paper, we have proposed a conceptual architecture for evaluating IoT deployment scenario and presenting power system simulation on real-time simulator and experimental evaluation of IPv6 based IETF 6TiSCH compliant grid nodes in smart grid scenario. The proposed architecture for simulation and experiments leverages Internet of Things (IoT) approach to address the smart grid requirement.

Transient stability assessment (TSA) plays an essential role in the safe and stable operation of power system. The traditional time-domain simulation method and direct method have great limitation in modeling and computing, which can not meet the need of fast and accurate assessment of power system stability. Therefore, combined physics model with data-driven algorithm, this paper proposes a physics-informed deep learning paradigm to solve this problem. In the data-driven algorithm, recurrent neural networks are trained to predict the rotor speed and power angle with the guiding of the power system’s physical information. Finally, the simulation on IEEE14 system is carried out by using PSS/E software, which proved that the proposed method can predict the power angle trajectory quickly and accurately.

The wide area measurements systems (WAMS) play a vital role in the operation of smart grids. The phasor measurement units (PMU) or synchrophasors are one of the principle components under WAMS. PMU in a smart grid converts power system signals into phasor from voltage and current which enhances the observability of the power system. A variety of operations is performed by the PMUs such as adaptive relaying, instability prediction, state estimation, improved control, fault and disturbance recording, transmission and generation modeling verification, wide area protection and detection of fault location. The PMUs can improve the performance of grid operations and monitoring. Thus, PMU optimization is very necessary to achieve the desired power system observability. The performance of the PMUs can be optimized using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The novice method of monitoring maximum power transfer using PMUs equipped with artificial neural networks has been discussed in this paper. In this paper, a two-bus system model is developed that can be generalized to multiple bus systems. The proposed method is novel, simple, feasible, and cost effective for smart grids.
