Abstract:

This paper provides a comparative study of various computer based learning approaches to power system voltage security assessment, on the basis of three systems : an academic 7-bus system, a 320-bus EHV model of the Brittany subsystem of Electricité de France, and a 1250-bus EHV+HV model of the latter system. The three classes of learning methods, namely machine learning, artificial neural networks and statistical pattern recognition, are found to have complementary features. It is thus proposed to combine them in a tool box, so as to exploit in an optimal way the large statistical data bases of security information which may be generated thanks to the rapid growth of computing power.

Keywords - Voltage security; statistical data analysis; machine learning; pattern recognition; artificial neural networks.
