Power System Resiliency and Wide Area Control Employing Deep Learning Algorithm

The power transfer capability of the smart transmission grid-connected networks needs to be reduced by inter-area oscillations. Due to the fact that inter-area modes of oscillations detain and make instability of power transmission networks. This fact is more noticeable in smart grid-connected systems. The smart grid infrastructure has more renewable energy resources installed for its operation. To overcome this problem, a deep learning wide-area controller is proposed for real-time parameter control and smart power grid resilience on oscillations inter-area modes. The proposed Deep Wide Area Controller (DWAC) uses the Deep Belief Network (DBN). The network weights are updated based on real-time data from Phasor measurement units. Resilience assessment based on failure probability, financial impact, and time-series data in grid failure management determine the norm H2. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a time-domain simulation case study based on the IEEE-39 bus system was performed. For a one-channel attack on the test system, the resiliency index increased to 0.962, and inter-area damping ξ was reduced to 0.005. The obtained results validate the proposed deep learning algorithm’s efficiency on damping inter-area and local oscillation on the 2-channel attack as well. Results also offer robust management of power system resilience and timely control of the operating conditions.
