Enhancing power system stability: Tianjin University unveils a groundbreaking method for rapid generation of dynamic security region boundaries
2024-07-31
(Press-News.org)
Fast and accurate transient stability analysis is crucial to power system operation. With high penetration level of wind power resources, practical dynamic security region (PDSR) with hyper plane expression has outstanding advantages in situational awareness and series of optimization problems. The precondition of obtaining accurate PDSR boundary is to locate sufficient points around the boundary (critical points). Therefore, a research team led by Yanli Liu from Tianjin University, China, has developed a space division and Wasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) based fast generation method of PDSR boundary. The study, published in Engineering.
The integration of renewable energy sources into power systems has introduced significant uncertainty, posing substantial risks and challenges to system stability. Traditional methods for transient stability analysis, such as the point-by-point approach, have been time-consuming and often fall short in terms of accuracy and efficiency, especially with the growing complexity of modern power systems.
The research team’s innovative solution addresses these challenges head-on. By leveraging space division to narrow the search for critical points and employing the WGAN-GP model for data augmentation, the method significantly compresses the search space and accelerates the generation of critical points. This not only improves the confidence level of boundary fitting results but also enables a precise and efficient assessment of power system transient stability.
The paper begins by establishing the theoretical foundation for the method, highlighting the differential topological characteristics of the dynamic security region (DSR). It then introduces the space division technique, which divides the injection space into three areas to focus the search for critical points within the critical operating area where the PDSR boundary is located. The WGAN-GP model is subsequently used to generate a large number of critical points based on the data distribution learned from a small training set, allowing for the rapid fitting of the PDSR boundary using the least square method.
The proposed method was tested on the IEEE 39-bus system, with results demonstrating its remarkable accuracy and efficiency. The case study involved replacing traditional generators with wind turbines to simulate real-world scenarios, further validating the method’s practical applicability.
This breakthrough has profound implications for the power industry, offering a powerful tool for schedulers and engineers to maintain system stability amidst the growing integration of renewable energy sources. The method’s efficiency and accuracy could significantly reduce the risk of power system blackouts, ensuring a more reliable and secure power supply.
Looking ahead, the research team at Tianjin University is committed to further refining the method and exploring its application to a broader range of faults. With the potential to be integrated with deep learning technologies, the method could pave the way for even more sophisticated and responsive power system stability solutions.

A new report from the University of California San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy reveals significant changes in support for labor unions among U.S. workers.
The report, published by the Economics Policy Institute, delves into the evolving attitudes toward unions and identifies three major shifts are occurring in U.S. workers: a recent, marked decline in opposition to labor unions, a rise of workers who are interested in—but unsure about—unions and an emerging generation gap in attitudes toward unionization between younger and older workers.
“While we compared levels of support for workplace unionization ...

Ensuring older hospital patients receive specialised medication management could reduce their stay in hospital and potentially lower their risk of death, according to new research conducted by Flinders University in collaboration with Flinders Medical Centre.
One in ten older people experience ‘adverse drug reactions’ (ADRs) to medications whilst in hospital, the research published in The Journal of the American Medical Directors Association (JAMDA) found.
“As the population is getting older, patients have more chronic medical ...

New Orleans, LA - July 30, 2024 – Ochsner Health announces an enterprise-wide agreement with DeepScribe to implement its ambient AI clinical documentation technology across its 46 hospitals and 370 health and urgent care centers. DeepScribe ambient AI turns each patient conversation into a complete, accurate note with real-time insights for clinicians, empowering them to be fully present with the patient while helping health systems achieve quality and value-based goals.
Ochsner clinicians participating during the pilot phase have already seen a positive effect on the patient experience, with 96 percent of their patients stating they are likely to recommend ...

New evidence has emerged about the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Los Angeles County, as shown by a recent study in the journal PLOS ONE. Scientists at USC and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) found that existing disparities in mental health between white and non-white residents worsened.
The study used two surveys conducted in 2018 and in spring 2021 to measure the risk for major depression among adults, alongside data about death rates. The researchers considered monthly averages between March 2020 (when the ...

WASHINGTON (July 30, 2024) — A study led by Georgetown University neuroscientists reveals that the part of the brain that receives and processes visual information in sighted people develops a unique connectivity pattern in people born blind. They say this pattern in the primary visual cortex is unique to each person — akin to a fingerprint.
The findings, described July 30, 2024, in PNAS, have profound implications for understanding brain development and could help launch personalized rehabilitation and sight restoration strategies.
For decades, scientists have known that the visual ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Computers benefit greatly from being connected to the internet, so we might ask: What good is a quantum computer without a quantum internet?
The secret to our modern internet is the ability for data to remain intact while traveling over long distances, and the best way to achieve that is by using photons. Photons are single units (“quanta”) of light. Unlike other quantum particles, photons interact very weakly with their environment. That stability also makes them extremely appealing for carrying quantum information over long distances, a process that requires maintaining a delicate state of entanglement for an extended ...

HERSHEY, Pa. — Healthy blood vessels matter for more than just heart health. Vascular well-being is critical for brain health and potentially in addressing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer’s disease, according to new study led by Penn State researchers. The findings point to an understudied but possible key role the brain’s vascular network — or energy infrastructure — plays in the onset of neurodegenerative disease.
They published their work today (July 30) in Nature Communications.
Using advanced imaging techniques, the team developed maps of a mouse brain that illustrate ...
