Tools to Explain Neural Networks for Power System Dynamics

  • 基于神经切线核分析训练过程中的模态衰减快慢,揭示物理刚度与优化刚度的关联。
  • 提出自适应损失加权策略,使结构感知网络(如ActNet)比普通网络更高效。
  • 为电力系统机器学习模型提供可解释性工具,适合关注模型可靠性与工程应用的研究者。

本文首次在电力系统文献中提出解析机器学习代理模型训练性能的分析工具,用于应对由变流器接入资源和快速控制回路引发的强刚性和多时间尺度动态挑战。随着电力系统仿真复杂度上升,机器学习代理模型成为加速动态仿真的有力工具,但其性能难以解释,限制了实际应用。本文基于电力系统的小信号特征值分析,引入神经切线核(NTK)方法,实现对学习性能的模态解读:识别出快速衰减与缓慢收敛的误差模式。该方法揭示了电力系统中的物理刚度和时标分离如何在神经网络训练中表现为优化刚度。基于此,本文提出了自适应损失加权策略,并解释了为何结构感知神经网络(如ActNet)优于常规神经网络。实验评估了所提方法在物理信息驱动的同步机(SM)和电力电子变换器代理模型上的有效性。本研究为机器学习代理模型提供了必要的可解释分析工具,推动了神经网络架构与训练策略的系统化、物理感知设计,避免盲目试错,揭示训练动态与失败模式,提升工程应用中的可信度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper presents, for the first time in power systems literature to our knowledge, analytical tools to explain the training performance of machine learning surrogate models for power system dynamics. Power system simulations are increasingly challenged by stiff and multi-timescale dynamics arising from converter-interfaced resources and fast control loops. Machine learning surrogates emerge as promising tools to handle this complexity and accelerate dynamic simulations. However, their performance remains difficult to interpret, which limits their adoption. Building on the small-signal eigenvalue analysis in power systems, this paper uses the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) method. NTK delivers a modal interpretation of the learning performance, identifying error modes that decay rapidly versus others that converge slowly. This connection explains how physical stiffness and timescale separation in power system dynamic models appear as optimization stiffness during Neural Network (NN) training. Based on this analysis, we develop adaptive loss-weighting strategies to improve and explain why structure-aware neural architectures, such as ActNet, perform better than vanilla NNs. We assess the proposed approach on physics-informed machine learning surrogate models of \acp{SM} and power electronic converters. The methods introduced in this paper can deliver the necessary analytical tools to interpret and improve the performance of machine learning surrogates, paving the way for the systematic, physics-aware design of NN architectures and training strategies. By moving beyond trial-and-error development, these tools reveal training dynamics and failure modes, support more reliable design decisions, and strengthen confidence in machine-learning surrogates for engineering applications.
