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.

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.

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.
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).
