Deep Learning Based Power System Stability Assessment For Reduced Wecc System, Yinfeng Zhao

Doctoral Dissertations

Power system stability is the ability of power system, for a giving initial operating condition, to reach a new operation condition with most of the system variables bounded in normal range after subjecting to a short or long disturbance. Traditional power system stability mainly uses time-domain simulation which is very time consuming and only appropriate for offline assessment.

Nowadays, with increasing penetration of inverter based renewable, large-scale distributed energy storage integration and operation uncertainty brought by weather and electricity market, system dynamic and operating condition is more dramatic, and traditional power system stability assessment based on scheduling may not be …

Toward Generating Efficient Deep Neural Networks, Chengcheng Li

Doctoral Dissertations

Recent advances in deep neural networks have led to tremendous applications in various tasks, such as object classification and detection, image synthesis, natural language processing, game playing, and biological imaging. However, deploying these pre-trained networks on resource-limited devices poses a challenge, as most state-of- the-art networks contain millions of parameters, making them cumbersome and slow in real-world applications. To address this problem, numerous network compression and acceleration approaches, also known as efficient deep neural networks or efficient deep learning, have been investigated, in terms of hardware and software (algorithms), training, and inference. The aim of this dissertation is to study …
