提出新型电力潮流残差模型,提升神经求解器在电网优化中的速度与灵活性。
Residual Power Flow for Neural Solvers
- 基于基尔霍夫定律构建残差函数,量化运行状态不可行性
- 相比传统方法,学习效率提升,且在IEEE 9节点系统上精度达标
- 适配预测-优化框架,适合需要快速响应的电网调度场景
能源转型带来了依赖仿真与优化的运维挑战。电网持续扩展及可再生能源不确定性要求计算既快速又灵活。现有学习近似方法(即神经求解器)虽评估速度快,但难以适应任务变化,通常仅适用于特定场景,限制了实用性。为此,本文提出残差电力潮流(Residual Power Flow, RPF)公式:基于基尔霍夫定律构建残差函数,量化运行条件的不可行性;通过最小化残差确定电压解,需额外松弛变量以实现交流可行性。RPF构成含潮流约束任务的基础子任务。我们提出用神经求解器学习RPF以发挥其速度优势,且相较于常见潮流公式,显著提升学习性能。为解决实际运维任务,将神经求解器嵌入预测-优化(Predict-then-Optimise, PO)框架中,兼顾速度与灵活性。案例研究基于IEEE 9-bus系统,涵盖三类任务:交流最优潮流(AC OPF)、潮流计算与准稳态潮流,结果表明该方法兼具准确性与灵活性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The energy transition challenges operational tasks based on simulations and optimisation. These computations need to be fast and flexible as the grid is ever-expanding, and renewables' uncertainty requires a flexible operational environment. Learned approximations, proxies or surrogates -- we refer to them as Neural Solvers -- excel in terms of evaluation speed, but are inflexible with respect to adjusting to changing tasks. Hence, neural solvers are usually applicable to highly specific tasks, which limits their usefulness in practice; a widely reusable, foundational neural solver is required. Therefore, this work proposes the Residual Power Flow (RPF) formulation. RPF formulates residual functions based on Kirchhoff's laws to quantify the infeasibility of an operating condition. The minimisation of the residuals determines the voltage solution; an additional slack variable is needed to achieve AC-feasibility. RPF forms a natural, foundational subtask of tasks subject to power flow constraints. We propose to learn RPF with neural solvers to exploit their speed. Furthermore, RPF improves learning performance compared to common power flow formulations. To solve operational tasks, we integrate the neural solver in a Predict-then-Optimise (PO) approach to combine speed and flexibility. The case study investigates the IEEE 9-bus system and three tasks (AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF), power-flow and quasi-steady state power flow) solved by PO. The results demonstrate the accuracy and flexibility of learning with RPF.
