Enhancing Stability of Large-Scale Power Systems via Learning Dissipativity

Co-supervised with Han Wang, Verena Häberle

Modern power systems are nonlinear, complex, and interconnected with numerous heterogeneous components, causing significant challenges to system stability. Control theory techniques that provide stability guarantees typically rely on a simplified model and do not capture the nonlinear behavior of the dynamics, motivating a deep-learning-based approach. However, naive deep-learning-based approaches generally suffer from the scale of dimensionality, especially in the context of large-scale power systems. Therefore, this project aims to develop a deep-learning-based controller in a decentralized fashion based on dissipativity theory, in order to ensure the global stability of the system in a scalable fashion.
