Power Flow Feasibility Assessment Using Variational Graph Autoencoders

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.

Reachability-Based Formal Verification of Graph Neural Networks with Node and Edge Features

The paper extends the neural network verification framework to graph neural networks by introducing GraphStar sets, which model uncertainty over both node and edge features. This allows sound propagation of linear message‑passing operations and ReLU nonlinearities for GCN and GINE layers. Experiments on power system tasks (PF, OPF, CFA) and graph classification benchmarks (ENZYMES, PROTEINS) show that the method, called GNNV, yields tighter robustness guarantees than CORA and provides, for the first time, edge‑aware guarantees for GINE‑based models under joint node and edge perturbations.

A Comparative Study of Graph Representations for GNN-Based Power Grid Control in L2RPN

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.

PF$\Delta$: A Benchmark Dataset for Power Flow under Load, Generation, and Topology Variations

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).

MxGPS: Multiplex Graph Transformers for a Power Grid Foundation Model

arXiv:2607. 13763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.

Bridging Artificial Intelligence and Power Systems Education Using a Hands-On Executable Framework

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly central to power and energy systems, supporting modeling, forecasting, optimization, and control. Yet most existing works emphasize specialized applications and offer little reusable material for newcomers or interdisciplinary learners, who increasingly rely on large language models rather than building their own.
