Analytical Representation of Data-driven Transient Stability Constraint and Its Application in Preventive Control

Abstract

Accurate transient stability assessment (TSA) and effective preventive control are important for the stable operation of power systems. With the superiorities in precision and efficiency, data-driven methods are widely used in TSA nowadays. Data-driven TSA model can be adopted in the stability constraints of preventive control optimization, but existing methods are mostly iteration-based ones, which may result in low efficiency, sometimes even non-convergence. In this paper, an analytical representation method of data-driven transient stability constraint is proposed based on a non-parametric regression model built for TSA. Key feature extraction and dominant sample selection are proposed to reduce the scale of the TSA model, and bi-level linearization is applied to further modify it. Optimal preventive control model is then formulated as a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) problem with the linearized analytical data-driven transient stability constraint, which can be solved without iterations. An overall procedure of data-driven TSA and preventive control is finally developed. Case studies show that the proposed method has high accuracy in TSA and can achieve effective preventive control of power system with high efficiency.
