arXiv:2607. 09122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data-driven methods, including graph neural networks, have been studied for accelerating power flow calculations in recent years, but very little attention has been paid to the solution feasibility, which can be obtained by traditional solvers.

Single-task fine-tuning of graph neural networks (GNNs) for power grid problems exhibits a systematic failure mode: models that achieve the lowest in-distribution error degrade the most under topology shift. We term this topology overfitting: the tendency of task-specific gradient signals to encode relational structure particular to the training topologies rather than the underlying physics, causing models to fail on unseen grids despite strong in-distribution performance.

The paper introduces Multi-Channel Physics-Aware Random Walk Fingerprints (MC-PA-RWF), a lightweight graph-level representation that incorporates physical edge states into random-walk propagation for power grid graphs. By constructing multiple edge-weighted channels from domain-relevant attributes and concatenating channel-specific fingerprints, the method achieves high balanced accuracy on PowerGraph benchmarks, outperforming topology-only RWF and matching or surpassing several graph neural network baselines. Experiments on three benchmark systems show statistically significant improvements, with the node-edge extension reaching up to 99.32% balanced accuracy and boosting failure-class F1 scores by 1.60–5.84 percentage points.

The paper investigates how different graph representations affect graph neural network (GNN) performance in power grid control tasks within the L2RPN environment. It compares physical topology, electrical-sensitivity, and hybrid graph variants in a controlled experimental setting. The results show that aligning graph complexity with task granularity yields better outcomes than simply increasing representational richness.

arXiv:2510. 22048v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Power flow (PF) calculations are the backbone of real-time grid operations, across workflows such as contingency analysis (where repeated PF evaluations assess grid security under outages) and topology optimization (which involves PF-based searches over combinatorially large action spaces).
