Learning Deep Architectures For Power Systems Operation And Analysis, Mahdi Khodayar

Electrical Engineering Theses and Dissertations

With the rapid increase in size and computational complexities of power systems, the need for powerful computational models to capture strong patterns from energy datasets is emerged. In this thesis, we provide a comprehensive review on recent advances in deep neural architectures that lead to significant improvements in classification and regression problems in the area of power engineering. Furthermore, we introduce our novel deep learning methodologies proposed for a large variety of applications in this area. First, we present the interval deep probabilistic modeling for wind speed forecasting. Incorporating the Rough Set Theory into deep neural networks, we create an …

Machine Learning Applications In Power Systems, Xinan Wang

Electrical Engineering Theses and Dissertations

Machine learning (ML) applications have seen tremendous adoption in power system research and applications. For instance, supervised/unsupervised learning-based load forecasting and fault detection are classic ML topics that have been well studied. Recently, reinforcement learning-based voltage control, distribution analysis, etc., are also gaining popularity. Compared to conventional mathematical methods, ML methods have the following advantages: (i). better robustness against different system configurations due to its data-driven nature; (ii). better adaption to system uncertainties; (iii). less dependent on the modeling accuracy and validity of assumptions. However, due to the unique physics of the power grid, many problems cannot be directly solved …
