Intelligent Domain Adaptation for Power System Transient Stability Assessment Under Varying Operating Scenarios

While deep learning-based transient stability assessment (TSA) approaches have exhibited great potential in power system stability monitoring, they are prone to undergo performance degradation in practical contexts with frequent variations of operating conditions. To address this issue, this work develops an adaptive TSA framework via domain adaptation-enabled deep transfer learning. First, for the sake of capturing the primary transient stability characteristics, a robust metric, i.e., heterogeneous hybrid distribution metric (HHDM), is designed through mathematical means to effectively handle multi-scale Gaussian and long-tail distributions of transient responsive data and to precisely quantify the intrinsic distributional discrepancies between the source and target domains corresponding to different operating scenarios. With the help of the HHDM, a Bayesian theory-based dual-distribution domain adaptation method is constructed, aligning not only marginal probability distributions between domains but also the distributions of sub-domain categories. Such alignments enable fine-grained transient stability feature transfer, helping significantly improve the adaptability of a well-trained TSA model to target domains. Furthermore, a multilayer sparse regularization algorithm is introduced to mitigate feature volatility caused by variations in operating scenarios, thereby enhancing the model's generalization in the presence of unforeseen scenarios. Numerical tests on three test systems illustrate that, compared with conventional methods, the proposed framework improves online TSA accuracy by 0.5% to 5% in a cost-effective manner, with the learning cost for TSA model update largely reduced.

Impedance Modeling and Stability Analysis of Droop-Controlled Inverter Under Unbalanced Power Grid Operating Conditions

With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into power grids, the risks of oscillation caused by interactions between grid-tied inverters and the grids are becoming increasingly prominent. Although existing studies have made significant progress in inverter modeling and oscillatory stability analysis, most of them do not sufficiently consider complex mirror frequency coupling effects (MFCE) under unbalanced operating conditions, leading to unreliable models and erroneous stability analysis results. To address this inadequacy, this work develops a novel sequence impedance modeling scheme that can be widely applied to unbalanced operating conditions. In particular, taking a representative type of grid-forming inverter for instance, i.e., droop-controlled inverter (DCI), a single-input single-output sequence impedance modeling method based on harmonic linearization (HL) is proposed to comprehensively model both a given DCI and the connected grid. By accounting for multi-frequency interactions within the DCI, this method captures MFCE and unbalanced factors, leading to a more accurate impedance model. Further, the dominant factors influencing system stability are identified with a combination of normalized sensitivity analysis and proportional weighting. Finally, the detailed impacts of these dominant factors on system stability margin under three typical unbalanced operating conditions are analyzed through the Bode criterion. The effectiveness and reliability of the whole scheme proposed in this work are validated on the constructed grid-connected droop-controlled experimental platform.

Adaptive Spatial-Temporal Graph Learning-Enabled Short-Term Voltage Stability Assessment against Time-Varying Topological Conditions

The emerging deep learning (DL) technology has recently exhibited great potential in data-driven short-term voltage stability (SVS) assessment of complex power grids. However, without sufficient attention to the time-varying topological structures of today's power grids, the majority of existing DL-based SVS assessment schemes could experience severe performance degradation in practice. To address this drawback, this paper proposes an adaptive spatial-temporal graph learning-enabled SVS assessment approach that can adapt well to various topological changes. First, considering the time-varying topological conditions of a given power grid, an adaptive graph representation matrix is automatically learned to effectively capture the complicated spatial correlations between individual buses within the grid. Then, to help better capture regional SVS features for subsequent learning processes, the adaptive graph representation matrix is properly adjusted by introducing a spatial attention mechanism. Further, with post-fault system trajectory data linked together via attention-based graph representation, a residual spatiotemporal graph convolutional network is carefully built with Optuna-based optimization to deeply mine system-wide spatiotemporal features and thus achieve structure-adaptive SVS assessment. Numerical test results on two representative sub-systems of a realistic provincial power grid in South China demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach under various changing topological conditions.

Lightweight Multimodal LLM-Enabled Cost-Effective Defect Grading of Power Transmission Equipment

Defect grading of power transmission equipment (DGPTE) is crucial to the stability of electric energy transmission. Although existing machine learning methods exhibit strong capabilities in defect detection, they are plagued by difficulties in integrating expert experience and facing class imbalance in more refined defect grading field. To address this issue, this paper introduces a novel defect grading framework based on multimodal large language model (MLLM). Specifically, this approach maximizes the commercial MLLMs' potential of DGPTE through in-context learning and obtains the state-of-te-art (SOTA) model. By sending a secondary request to this model, a small number of chain of thought-based question-answer pairs (Q\&As) are generated, which effectively reduces the cost of manual annotation. In this way, these high-quality interpretable Q\&As are used to train Qwen3-VL-8B via Low-Rank Adaption-based supervised fine-tuning (SFT). Experimental results on three DGPTE tasks demonstrate that fine-tuning only the language model layer yields the SOTA performance. Furthermore, multi-task joint fine-tuning verifies the feasibility of handling multiple grading tasks within only a single lightweight MLLM.

Quantitative Damping Calculation and Compensation Method for Global Stability Improvement of Inverter-Based Systems

Small-signal stability issues-induced broadband oscillations pose significant threats to the secure operation of multi-inverter systems, attracting extensive research attention. Researches revealed that system instability is led by the lacking of positive damping, yet it has not been clearly specified how much the exact amount of damping compensation required to sufficiently ensure system global stability. This paper presents a feasible solution for quantitative damping calculation and compensation to enhance the global stability of inverter-based systems. First, based on the system nodal admittance model, a quantitative damping calculation algorithm is presented, which can suggest the required damping compensation as well as compensation location for sufficient stability improvement. Then, we propose a specific AD with output current feedforward control strategy, which make the AD be quasi-pure resistive and can effectively enhance system damping efficiency. Finally, a testing system with three inverters is used as case study, showing that the proposed method provides a promising solution to efficiently enhance the global stability improvement of inverter-based systems. Simulations and experiments validate the proposed method.

Three-Stage Composite Outlier Identification of Wind Power Data: Integrating Physical Rules with Regression Learning and Mathematical Morphology

Existing studies on identifying outliers in wind speed-power datasets are often challenged by the complicated and irregular distributions of outliers, especially those being densely stacked yet staying close to normal data. This could degrade their identification reliability and robustness in practice. To address this defect, this paper develops a three-stage composite outlier identification method by systematically integrating three complementary techniques, i.e., physical rule-based preprocessing, regression learning-enabled detection, and mathematical morphology-based refinement. Firstly, the raw wind speed-power data are preprocessed via a set of simple yet efficient physical rules to filter out some outliers obviously going against the physical operating laws of practical wind turbines. Secondly, a robust wind speed-power regression learning model is built upon the random sample consensus algorithm. This model is able to reliably detect most outliers with the help of an adaptive threshold automatically set by the interquartile range method. Thirdly, by representing the wind speed-power data distribution with a two-dimensional image, mathematical morphology operations are applied to perform refined outlier identification from a data distribution perspective. This technique can identify outliers that are not effectively detected in the first two stages, including those densely stacked ones near normal data points. By integrating the above three techniques, the whole method is capable of identifying various types of outliers in a reliable and adaptive manner. Numerical test results with wind power datasets acquired from distinct wind turbines in practice and from simulation environments extensively demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method as well as its potential in enhancing wind power prediction.

An Evidential Reasoning Based Approach to Building Node Selection Criterion for Network Reduction

A reasonable node selection criterion (NSC) is crucial for the network reduction in power systems. In contrast to the previous works that only consider structure property, this paper proposes a comprehensive and quantitative NSC considering both structural and electrical properties. The proposed NSC is developed by employing the evidential reasoning approach, in which the quasi-one-hot encoding is used to determine the evaluation grades of different criteria or attributes. Then, different criteria are combined through the multi-evidence reasoning. Eventually, the utility evaluation is used to derive the quantitative NSC. Besides, the ER can be readily extended to multiple criteria while considering the uncertainty in the evaluation process simultaneously. The reduced models with higher accuracy can be built by combining the proposed NSC with the existing model reduction algorithms. The case studies on a 30-node power grid substantiate the practicality of the proposed NSC.

New examples on spaces of negative sectional curvature satisfying Ma-Trudinger-Wang conditions

In this paper, we study the Ma-Trudinger-Wang (MTW) conditions for cost functions $c$ which are of the form $c=l\circ d$, where $d$ is a Riemannian distance function with constant sectional curvature. In this case, the MTW conditions are equivalent to some computable conditions on the function $l$. As a corollary, we give some new costs on Riemannian manifolds of constant negative curvature for which the MTW conditions are satisfied.

Diffeological Smoothness in Hodge Theory

On a compact, oriented, Riemannian manifold, the Hodge decomposition theorem associates a smooth primitive to any exact smooth form omega. In this paper, we show that given a smooth family of exact smooth forms omega(t), the family of associated primitives is also a smooth family with respect to t.
