Abstract:
For the past decades，the integration of intermittent renewable sources，responsive loads and other new technologies significantly complicates today's power systems. It becomes more and more challenging to build accurate models for power grid planning，operation and control. This leads to the fruitful development of machine learning-based power system applications. However，the existing machine learning methods are data-driven， and the underlying physical models are typically not considered. As a result, a large number of high-quality training data and complex neural network structures are required. There are also serious concerns of the physical interpretability of the machine learning results. Motivated by the advancements of constrained machine learning methods that consider some critical physical constraints, we develop a physics informed deep reinforcement learning framework for power system optimization and control, such as optimal power flow, preventive stability control, and Volt-VAR optimization.
