Real-Time Small-Signal Security Assessment Using Graph Neural Networks
<|reference_start|>Real-Time Small-Signal Security Assessment Using Graph Neural Networks: Security assessment is one of the most crucial functions of a power system operator. However, growing complexity and unpredictability make this an increasingly complex and computationally difficult task. In recent times, machine learning methods have gained attention for their ability to handle complex modeling applications. Some methods proposed include deep learning using convolutional neural networks, decision trees, etc. While these methods generate promising results, most methods still require long training times and computational resources. This paper proposes a graph neural network (GNN) approach to the small-signal security assessment problem using data from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). Leveraging the inherently graphical structure of the power grid using GNNs, training times can be reduced and efficiency improved for real-time application. Also, using graph properties, optimal PMU placement is determined and the proposed method is shown to perform efficiently under partial observability with limited PMU data. Case studies with simulated data from the IEEE 68-bus system and the NPCC 140-bus system are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.<|reference_end|>
