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.

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).

GENCO - A Unified Neural Solver Embedded in a Development Framework for Steady-State Grid Analysis

arXiv:2608. 09921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation models are transforming business workflows and boosting productivity, yet they remain largely absent from engineering domains such as power system analysis, where strict physical consistency must be enforced.

EvEMTBench: An Open Benchmark for Machine Learning in Power System Protection

EvEMTBench is an open, executable, and versioned benchmark designed to standardize the evaluation of machine‑learning methods for power system protection. It defines 12 protection and event‑analysis functions across four grids (20–345 kV) as 24 scored tasks, enabling structured assessment under varied observability, distribution shifts, and cross‑grid transfer scenarios. The benchmark includes committed data partitions, leakage controls, and reproducible reporting, and demonstrates that wider observability does not always help, that shifted conditions expose hidden failures, and that fault detection transfers better than fault localization.
