Audited Selective Verification for Risk-Controlled N-1 Thermal Contingency Screening under Deployment Shift

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.

Safety Screening for Voltage Control in Active Distribution Grids via Distributionally Robust Conformal Screening

The paper introduces Distributionally Robust Conformal Safety Screening (DR‑CSS), a policy‑agnostic framework that uses historical data and a nominal simulator to pre‑deploy safety checks for new voltage control policies in active distribution grids. DR‑CSS constructs conformal safety intervals around simulated voltage trajectories, enlarging them to account for closed‑loop effects of the new policy. Experiments on IEEE 33‑bus and 141‑bus systems show that DR‑CSS successfully identifies all unsafe scenarios while adapting intervals to reduce false warnings.

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.
