Training Data Regarding Optimal Power Flow For Efficient Machine Learning

The code is intended to take the data outputted by the MATPOWER OPF solver tools and restructures the data in a way that is best suited for machine learning. The variables are read and the desired values are taken and added to an array in the correct format. This array is then converted into a python array for future use. The code also utilizes MATPOWER's ability to construct different power flow scenarios and repeat them a chosen number of times. Each iteration will add a new line to the formatted array so that the final output is a matrix has a height equal to the number of repetition used.

Ensemble Learning Based Convex Approximation of Three-Phase Power Flow

Though the convex optimization has been widely used in power systems, it still cannot guarantee to yield a tight (accurate) solution to some problems. To mitigate this issue, this paper proposes an ensemble learning based convex approximation for alternating current (AC) power flow equations that differs from the existing convex relaxations. The proposed approach is based on three-phase quadratic power flow equations in rectangular coordinates. To develop this data-driven convex approximation of power flows, the polynomial regression (PR) is first deployed as a basic learner to fit convex relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Then, ensemble learning algorithms such as gradient boosting (GB) and bagging are introduced to combine learners to boost model performance. Based on the learned convex approximation of power flow, optimal power flow (OPF) is formulated as a convex quadratic programming problem. The simulation results on IEEE standard cases of both balanced and unbalanced systems show that, in the context of solving OPF, the proposed data-driven convex approximation outperforms the conventional semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation in both accuracy and computational efficiency, especially in the cases that the conventional SDP relaxation fails
