The paper introduces Penalty + Sequential Linearized Feasibility Seeking (SLFS), a self‑supervised learning framework for solving multiphase AC optimal power flow (AC‑OPF) in distribution systems with topology reconfiguration. SLFS trains directly from the AC‑OPF objective and constraints using a differentiable fixed‑point power flow solver, avoiding the need for labeled optimal solutions. It achieves negligible optimality gaps and near‑zero constraint violations on IEEE feeders up to 8,500 nodes, delivering up to three orders of magnitude speedups over IPOPT while maintaining robustness to large distributional shifts.

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).

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.
