arXiv:2308. 07867v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The absence of formal performance guarantees in machine learning (ML) has limited its adoption for safety-critical power system applications, where confidence and interpretability are as vital as accuracy.
arXiv:2505. 05203v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: With the increasing penetration of renewable energy and inverter-based resources, traditional physics-based power-system operation faces growing challenges in maintaining economic efficiency, security, and robustness.
arXiv:2510. 07750v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robust optimization safeguards decisions against uncertainty by optimizing against worst-case scenarios, yet their effectiveness hinges on a prespecified robustness level that is often chosen ad hoc, leading to either insufficient protection or overly conservative and costly solutions.
arXiv:2608. 16494v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern power systems face growing operational complexity driven by the integration of renewable energy sources, decentralization, and the need for real-time decision-making across a wide range of timescales.
arXiv:2607. 13221v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time N-1 contingency screening in an energy management system trades assurance against cost: verifying every credible outage with full power flow is too slow, while fast linear-sensitivity screening gives no statistical guarantee and can silently pass unsafe operating points, especially when a controller drives the system into unfamiliar regimes.
arXiv:2606. 27694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Randomized Smoothing (RS) provides rigorous robustness guarantees for neural networks without architectural constraints, yet its adoption is limited by extreme computational costs.

arXiv:2606. 19587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a scalable method for training prediction (machine learning) models in the predict-then-optimize paradigm, where model outputs serve as coefficients for a subsequent linear optimization task.
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.
arXiv:2607. 21773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we propose and study a robust variant of the smart predict-then-optimize approach that accounts for prediction shifts due to disturbance in the covariate feature space.
