Usually, GTS is composed of offline predetermination and real-time scenario match. However, it is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive for manual predetermination for a large-scale modern power system. To improve efficiency of predetermination, this paper proposes a framework of knowledge fusion-based deep reinforcement learning (KF-DRL) for intelligent predetermination of GTS. First, the Markov Decision Process (MDP) for GTS problem is formulated based on transient instability events. Then, linear action space is developed to reduce dimensionality of action space for multiple controllable generators. Especially, KF-DRL leverages domain knowledge about GTS to mask invalid actions during the decision-making process. This can enhance the efficiency and learning process. Moreover, the graph convolutional network (GCN) is introduced to the policy network for enhanced learning ability. Numerical simulation results obtained on New England power system demonstrate superiority of the proposed KF-DRL framework for GTS over the purely data-driven DRL method.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"66-75"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10375964","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139695052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On this basis, this article puts forward an AI self-evolution method based on intelligence assessment through embedding a quantitative intelligence assessment method into automated reinforcement learning (AutoRL) systems. A parallel system based quantitative assessment and self-evolution (PLASE) system for power grid corrective control AI is thereby constructed, taking Bayesian Optimization as the measure of AI evolution to fulfill autonomous evolution of AI under guidance of their intelligence assessment results. Experiment results exemplified in the power grid corrective control AI agent show the PLASE system can reliably and quantitatively assess the intelligence level of the power grid corrective control agent, and it could promote evolution of the power grid corrective control agent under guidance of intelligence assessment results, effectively, as well as intuitively improving its intelligence level through self-evolution.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"13-28"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10375965","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139695071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With increasing applications of converter-based devices in modern power systems, system-wide control interactions between different converter-based devices are causing more prevalent electromagnetic wide-band oscillations (WBOs). Extensive research has been done on design, application, and standardization of classical PSSs for addressing LFOs associated with synchronous generators. However, little attention is given to same for converter-based devices as a countermeasure to electromagnetic WBOs. This paper proposes a concept of utilizing new-type power system stabilizers (NPSSs) specifically designed to address WBOs caused by converter-control interactions in modern converter-dominated power systems. The article puts forward various design strategies, tuning methods, and implementation techniques of the NPSSs to counteract WBOs. The NPSSs are not limited to inverter-based resources (type-3/4 wind turbines); they can also be applied to other converter-based devices such as FACTS controllers, HVDC links, battery storage inverters, etc. We present several application scenarios demonstrating the importance of supplementing NPSSs in converter-based devices. Furthermore, the paper highlights current research challenges and opportunities in designing and implementing NPSS for various converter-based devices, providing a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art and future directions in this area.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"11 3","pages":"1186-1198"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10376003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144243766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compensation coils are used to improve operating speed compared with original moving coil actuator. Comparisons between four possible connections of compensation coils and original moving coil actuator are carried out. Experimental results show comparisons between different connections of actuator coils in terms of opening time and coil current with a range of pre-charged capacitor voltages. Dynamic performance of each actuator connection is also compared.

Traditional “offline calculation, online matching” scheme faces significant challenges on adaptiveness and robustness problems. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel closed-loop framework of transient stability prediction (TSP) and emergency control based on Deep Belief Network (DBN). First, a hierarchical real-time anti-jitter TSP method using sliding time windows is adopted, which takes into account accuracy and rapidity at the same time. Next, a sensitivity regression model is established to mine the implicit relationship between power angles and sensitivity. When impending instability of the system is foreseen, optimal emergency control strategy can be determined in time. Lastly, responses after emergency control are fed back to the TSP model. If prediction result is still unstable, an additional control strategy will be implemented. Comprehensive numerical case studies are conducted on New England IEEE 39-bus system and Northeast Power Coordinated Council (NPCC) 140-bus system.

Due to unavailability of network topology and line impedance in many distribution networks, physical model-based methods may not be applicable to their operations. To tackle this challenge, some studies have proposed constraint learning, which replicates physical models by training a neural network to evaluate feasibility of a decision (i.e., whether a decision satisfies all critical constraints or not). To ensure accuracy of this trained neural network, training set should contain sufficient feasible and infeasible samples. However, since ADNs are mostly operated in a normal status, only very few historical samples are infeasible. Thus, the historical dataset is highly imbalanced, which poses a significant obstacle to neural network training. To address this issue, we propose an enhanced constraint learning method. First, it leverages constraint learning to train a neural network as surrogate of ADN's model. Then, it introduces Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique to generate infeasible samples to mitigate imbalance of historical dataset. By incorporating historical and synthetic samples into the training set, we can significantly improve accuracy of neural network. Furthermore, we establish a trust region to constrain and thereafter enhance reliability of the solution. Simulations confirm the benefits of the proposed method in achieving desirable optimality and feasibility while maintaining low computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"51-65"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10375977","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139695118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
