A global-scanning jumping knowledge network (GSJKN) is first designed to establish the regression rule between the measurement data and state variables. The structural information of distribution system (DS) and a global-scanning module are incorporated to guide the propagation of scarce measurements in the graph topology, contributing to valid estimation precision in sparsely measured DSs. To monitor the topology changes of the network, a DAE network is employed to learn an efficient representation of the measurements of the system under a certain topology, which can achieve online monitoring of the network structure by observing the variation tendency of the reconstruction error. When the topology change occurs, a Gaussian process with a composite kernel is applied to the modeling of the pretrained GSJKN residual to adapt to the new topology. The embedding of the physical structural knowledge enables the proposed GSJKN method to restore the missing/noisy values utilizing the adjacent measurements, which enhances the robustness to typical data acquisition errors. The adopted DAE network and special GARL-based transfer method further allow the DSSE method to rapidly detect and adapt to the topology change, as well as achieve effective quantification of the estimation uncertainties.

In the day-ahead phase, the on-off status of thermal units is scheduled. During each period of real-time dispatch, the output of thermal units and the action of load shedding are determined, and the discrete choice of load shedding corresponds to the practice of tripping substation outlets. The entire decision-making process is formulated as a multi-stage adaptive robust optimization problem with mixed-integer recourse, whose solution takes three steps. First, we propose and apply partially affine policy, which is optimized ahead of the day and restricts intertemporal dispatch variables as affine functions of previous uncertainty realizations, leaving remaining continuous and binary dispatch variables to be optimized in real time. Second, we demonstrate that the resulting model with partially affine policy can be reformulated as a two-stage robust optimization problem with mixed-integer recourse. Third, we modify the standard nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm to accelerate the inner loops by warm start. The modified algorithm solves the two-stage problem more efficiently. Case studies on the IEEE 118-bus system verify that the proposed partially affine policy outperforms conventional affine policy in terms of optimality and robustness; the modified nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm significantly reduces the total computation time; and the proposed method balances well optimality and efficiency compared with state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"13 2","pages":"415-425"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10851868","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143716444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attackers may infiltrate sub-station networks, manipulate switches, and disrupt power lines, potentially causing severe damage to the power system. To minimize such risks, this paper proposes a three-layer defender-attacker-defender (DAD) model for optimally allocating limited defensive resources to substations. To model the uncertainty surrounding the knowledge of defender of potential attacks in real-world scenarios, we employ a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process combined with the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FAHP-DEMATEL). This method accounts for the attack resource uncertainty by utilizing intelligence data on factors potentially influenced by attackers, which serves as an evaluation metric to simulate the likelihood of various attack scenarios. These uncertainty probabilities are then incorporated into the substation DAD model consisting three layers of agents: the decision-maker., the attacker, and the operator. The decision-maker devises a defense strategy before the attack, while the attacker aims to identify the strategy that causes the maximum load loss. Meanwhile, the operator seeks to minimize the load loss through optimal power flow scheduling. To solve the model, the original problem is transformed into a two-layer subproblem and a single-layer master problem, which are solved iteratively using a column-and-constraint generation algorithm. Case studies conducted on the IEEE RTS-96 system and the IEEE 118-node system demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed model.

Meanwhile, integrating small-capacity battery energy storage systems into distribution network is a growing trend in the construction of virtual power plants (VPPs), which offer great potential advantages in improving the system frequency regulation capabilities. However, the process of power dispatch for VPPs may be hindered by imperfections in the communication network, which affects their frequency control performance. Simultaneously, the economic benefits associated with their frequency control services are often overlooked. As such, we propose a co-design method of power dispatch with dynamic power regulation and communication transmission optimization for frequency control in VPPs. First, a joint design scheme of power dispatch and routing optimization under cloud-edge collaborations is proposed. This scheme encompasses a power dispatch method considering the influences of communication network and a routing optimization policy based on graph convolutional neural networks, both of which are designed to ensure the accurate and real-time frequency control service. Further, we propose a dynamic power regulation strategy under edge-edge collaborations. Specifically, according to the established correction control objective, an adaptive distributed auction algorithm (ADAA) based dynamic power regulation control method is designed to determine the optimal regulation power of VPPs, thereby improving the economic benefits of frequency control service.

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized SSO research through data-driven methodologies, which necessitates a substantial collection of data for effective training, a requirement frequently unfulfilled in practical power systems due to limited data availability. To address the critical issue of data scarcity in training AI models, this paper proposes a novel transfer-learning-based (TL-based) Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN) approach for synthetic data generation of SSO in wind farms. To improve the capability of WGAN to capture the bidirectional temporal features inherent in oscillation data, a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) layer is introduced. Additionally, to address the training instability caused by few-shot learning scenarios, the discriminator is augmented with mini-batch discrimination (MBD) layers and gradient penalty (GP) terms. Finally, TL is leveraged to fine-tune the model, effectively bridging the gap between the training data and real-world system data. To evaluate the quality of the synthetic data, two indexes are proposed based on dynamic time warping (DTW) and frequency domain analysis, followed by a classification task. Case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in swiftly generating a large volume of synthetic SSO data, thereby significantly mitigating the issue of data scarcity prevalent in SSO research.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"13 4","pages":"1199-1210"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10847932","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144716260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
