Anti-Jitter and Refined Power System Transient Stability Assessment Based on Long-Short Term Memory Network

In order to maintain the stable operation of power systems, quick and accurate transient stability assessment (TSA) after the fault clearance is important. Machine learning methods have been widely used in the transient stability analysis of power systems. However, how to make good use of time series data of PMUs and effectively balance the contradiction between rapidity and accuracy brings new challenges to TSA. To address this problem, we propose an anti-jitter dynamic evaluation method based on long-short term memory (LSTM) network. In this model, the trajectory cluster characteristics of generators power angles after fault clearance are taken as inputs, and an improved LSTM is used to learn the nonlinear mapping relationship between the input characteristics and the transient stability. Meanwhile, by the use of sliding time windows and anti-jitter mechanism, a hierarchical real-time prediction framework is constructed to effectively utilize the time series data of PMUs. The case studies on two systems indicate that the proposed method has superior evaluation accuracy and general performance. In addition, the proposed method can effectively evaluate the stability margin or instability degree of samples, which provides reliable reference information for emergency control.
