MxGPS: Multiplex Graph Transformers for a Power Grid Foundation Model

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.

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.

Towards Hierarchical GNNs for multi-grid power flow: generalization across operating scenarios

The paper proposes a hierarchical graph neural network (GNN) architecture for multi‑grid power‑flow modeling that exchanges information through two reduced graphs within a GENCO‑based corrective network. Experiments on three grid topologies show that the Kron‑derived transport approach reduces macro family‑balanced voltage error by 85 % compared to a flat backbone and 31 % compared to a Quotient construction, outperforming per‑bus mean baselines across all seeds. Preliminary results indicate strong generalization across operating scenarios within the studied topologies, though cross‑topology transfer remains an open challenge.

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.
