能源转型背景下,可再生能源大规模接入和跨国电力交换导致电网不确定性与运行风险上升。在复杂工况下保持电网稳定极为困难,潮流模拟器常被用于评估操作方案的可行性。然而,传统物理求解器虽精确,却难以满足近实时需求。机器学习模型作为快速替代方案出现,为增强其对物理规律(如基尔霍夫定律)的遵守,常引入嵌入式约束,形成所谓的物理信息或混合模型。本文通过消融实验,系统分析从正则化项到无监督损失的多种混合策略,并比较从简单多层感知机到先进图神经网络等不同架构对物理方程的直接优化能力。基于自研的基准测试工具LIPS,从精度、物理合规性、工业可用性及分布外泛化四个维度评估模型表现。结果揭示了物理知识融合对各项指标的影响。所有代码均开源可复现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the context of the energy transition, with increasing integration of renewable sources and cross-border electricity exchanges, power grids are encountering greater uncertainty and operational risk. Maintaining grid stability under varying conditions is a complex task, and power flow simulators are commonly used to support operators by evaluating potential actions before implementation. However, traditional physical solvers, while accurate, are often too slow for near real-time use. Machine learning models have emerged as fast surrogates, and to improve their adherence to physical laws (e.g., Kirchhoff's laws), they are often trained with embedded constraints which are also known as physics-informed or hybrid models. This paper presents an ablation study to demystify hybridization strategies, ranging from incorporating physical constraints as regularization terms or unsupervised losses, and exploring model architectures from simple multilayer perceptrons to advanced graph-based networks enabling the direct optimization of physics equations. Using our custom benchmarking pipeline for hybrid models called LIPS, we evaluate these models across four dimensions: accuracy, physical compliance, industrial readiness, and out-of-distribution generalization. The results highlight how integrating physical knowledge impacts performance across these criteria. All the implementations are reproducible and provided in the corresponding Github page.
