AC Power Flow Contingency Analysis Using a Single Deep Neural Network

The paper introduces a method that uses a single deep neural network, trained only on basecase AC power flow data, to predict post-contingency operating states for any single-line outage. It frames this prediction as a fixed-point iteration and provides sufficient convergence conditions, certifying them via semidefinite programming. Numerical experiments on the IEEE 118-bus system show that the certified conditions hold for all tested contingencies and that accurate state estimates are achieved in only a few iterations.

GridSFM: A Foundation Model for Solving AC Optimal Power Flow

GridSFM is a 15‑million‑parameter physics‑inspired graph neural network that serves as a foundation model for solving AC Optimal Power Flow (AC‑OPF) across diverse grid topologies. Pretrained on 54 topologies ranging from 500 to 4,000 buses, it achieves a 2.45 % zero‑shot generation‑cost error on a held‑out 10,000‑bus case and adapts to unseen grids with only 100 solved instances using a physics‑informed fine‑tuning scheme based on Newton’s method. The authors address the disconnected feasible set of AC‑OPF by lifting and relaxing constraints with logarithmically penalized slacks, proving the resulting elastic feasible set is contractible and that solutions can be projected back onto the original feasible set.
