Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of power distribution network situation awareness technology, and particularly relates to a power distribution network robust state estimation method based on a multi-modal graph neural network. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the large number of distributed energy access, the rapid development of electric vehicles and the promotion of user-side load response, the structure of modern power distribution network is increasingly complex, and the operating state changes frequently, which puts forward higher requirements for real-time perception and accurate estimation of its operating state. As an important basis for realizing power dispatching decision, operation control and fault warning, power distribution network state estimation occupies a core position in the power distribution automation system.

[0003] However, the traditional power distribution network state estimation method is usually based on mathematical models such as least square estimation and extended Kalman filter. This kind of method highly depends on complete, continuous and accurate measurement data input, and needs the system to have good observability. However, in the actual power distribution network, due to the low voltage level, the limited deployment of measurement equipment, and the shortage of communication resources, there are generally sparse measurement points, incomplete information and even long-term missing situations, which makes it difficult for the traditional method to accurately estimate key state parameters such as voltage and current, and further affects the safe operation and control efficiency of the power grid.

[0004] In recent years, artificial intelligence, especially deep learning technology, has been gradually applied in power system state estimation. Among them, graph neural network has become an important research direction in the field of power distribution network state estimation because of its ability to model the topology structure of the power grid. The existing graph neural network method can learn and infer the node state based on the electrical structure, and improve the perception ability of the model to the local structure. However, this kind of method generally has the following problems:

[0005] Firstly, it only relies on single topology modeling, and cannot effectively fuse the multi-source heterogeneous information relationship between the electrical connection structure and the measurement data, and cannot fully excavate the spatial correlation and information redundancy between the measurement data;

[0006] Secondly, when facing measurement data missing, mutation, abnormal interference or communication anomaly, the model has poor robustness and is prone to estimation deviation or failure;

[0007] Thirdly, the existing model is mostly a centralized processing framework, which is difficult to adapt to the development trend of future distributed energy access and micro-grid edge autonomous control, and has insufficient support for deployment efficiency and privacy protection.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new state estimation method that can simultaneously fuse electrical structure and measurement information, has data robustness, and supports distributed deployment, to adapt to the new situation of modern power distribution network operation and improve intelligent perception and autonomous control ability.

[0120] The technical solutions of the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples.

[0121] EMBODIMENT

[0122] As shown in Figures 1-2 , a power distribution network robust state estimation method based on a multi-modal graph neural network comprises the following steps:

[0123] S1, obtaining simulation data and historical data of the power distribution network.

[0124] S2, multi-modal graph structure fusion modeling.

[0125] S21, state estimation problem modeling and multi-graph structure construction.

[0126] S211, constructing an electrical topology graph and a measurement point graph.

[0127] The electrical topology graph is as follows:

[0128] G e =(V,E e );

[0129] Wherein, G eis an electrical topology; V is a set of nodes, such as busbars, distribution transformers and other physical nodes; E e is a branch, such as a feeder, a cable and other electrical connection edges, and each edge has an impedance weight; A e is an adjacency matrix; A e is specifically represented by the matrix:

[0130]

[0131] where i and j are node numbers; Z ij is the impedance between nodes i and j.

[0132] A measurement point graph is as follows:

[0133] G m = (V m , E m );

[0134] where G m is a measurement point graph; m is a measurement device number; V m is a smart meter, a PMU, an FTU and other measurement devices; E m is a set of edges between nodes, and the existence of an edge is based on statistical correlation and geographical proximity. If the correlation Corr(X i , X j )>δ, the edge exists, where δ is a correlation threshold; A m is an adjacency matrix, which is a mutual information value.

[0135] To effectively mine the statistical correlation between each measurement node of the power distribution network, the embodiment introduces a mutual information coefficient (Mutual Information, MI) as the weight of the adjacency matrix in the graph neural network. Mutual information is a nonlinear index that measures the degree of information sharing between random variables, which can capture linear and nonlinear correlation relationships and is suitable for modeling the statistical dependence between continuous variables such as voltage and current.

[0136] Specifically, let X i , X j represent the historical measurement time series of nodes i and j, respectively, and the mutual information is defined as:

[0137]

[0138] where I(X i ; X j ) is the mutual information value; p(x i , x j ) is the joint probability density function; and p(x i ) and p(x j ) are the marginal probability density functions.

[0139] Due to the difficulty of analytical calculation of the integral form, a non-parametric estimation method based on k-nearest neighbors is used to estimate the joint probability density and marginal probability density, so as to obtain the mutual information value.

[0140] In order to facilitate the use in the graph neural network and enhance the comparability of the mutual information value between different nodes, the normalized mutual information (NMI) is further introduced as the final edge weight calculation standard, as follows:

[0141]

[0142] where H(X i ) and H(X j ) represent the information entropy of X i and X j , respectively.

[0143] The normalized mutual information value is limited in the interval [0, 1], which has good numerical stability and physical interpretability.

[0144] Finally, the adjacency matrix A m is constructed based on the NMI value between all node pairs, which is specifically represented as:

[0145] (A m ) ij =NMI(X i ,X j );

[0146] where NMI(X i ,X j ) is the normalized mutual information calculated based on the historical measurement data of nodes i and j; X i and X j represent the historical measurement time series data of nodes i and j, respectively.

[0147] The adjacency matrix not only reflects the statistical dependence relationship between nodes in the physical structure of the power distribution network, but also provides a data-driven structural prior for subsequent spatial information modeling of the graph neural network.

[0148] S212, construct a heterogeneous mapping function between the measurement points and the nodes, as follows:

[0149] f:V m →V;

[0150] S213, initialize the feature vector of each node, as follows:

[0151]

[0152] wherein P i , Q i are power values; is a node voltage amplitude measurement value; is a node voltage phase angle measurement value;type i is a node type code;flag i is a judgment of whether it is a measurement point.

[0153] S22, constructing a multi-modal graph neural network and state estimation.

[0154] S221, using a parallel graph neural network to respectively perform feature extraction on the electrical graph G e and the measurement graph G m .

[0155] Through graph convolution, the information on the two subgraphs is respectively extracted as and wherein is the node embedding extracted from the electrical graph G e , is the node embedding extracted from the measurement graph G m .

[0156] Taking a graph attention network as an example, the (l+1)th layer feature of node i on the electrical graph G e is as follows:

[0157]

[0158] wherein, is the graph embedding of node i at the (l+1)th layer; σ(·) is an activation function; is the neighbor set of node i in the graph G e ; W e is a linear transformation matrix of the electrical graph; is the hidden representation of node j at the lth layer; is the attention weight of node j to node i.

[0159] Using the same structure on the measurement graph G m , the (l+1)th layer feature representation of node i on the measurement graph G e is obtained , which represents the embedding obtained from the perspective of the measurement point.

[0160] S222, weighted integration is performed through a gating mechanism to obtain the fused information, as follows:

[0161]

[0162] wherein, is the final fused representation of node i; Z iis a gating coefficient, which is specifically expressed as: wherein, W z , b z is a trainable parameter for fusion weight.

[0163] S223, through the state estimation regressor, the node state estimation result is obtained, as follows:

[0164]

[0165] wherein, is the voltage amplitude estimation value of node i; is the phase angle estimation value of node i; MLP is a multilayer perceptron, and the output is a continuous value regression.

[0166] In a low observable scenario, some nodes have no real-time measurement value. To alleviate this problem, a pseudo measurement point generation module is introduced to generate estimated values through historical measurement sequences and electrical structure information, thereby improving the overall state estimation accuracy.

[0167] S3, pseudo measurement generation mechanism and joint optimization.

[0168] S31, a pseudo measurement generation mechanism based on CNN-BiLSTM-Attention neural network is introduced to complete the state information of unobserved nodes.

[0169] In a distribution network, in order to obtain more node data information, a neural network is used to add pseudo measurements to the distribution network, and a pseudo measurement model is established to help better understand the state of the power grid, thereby realizing more effective monitoring and management.

[0170] The pseudo measurement generation mechanism is based on CNN-BiLSTM-Attention neural network for node data prediction. The CNN-BiLSTM-Attention neural network combines convolutional neural network CNN, bidirectional long short-term memory network BiLSTM and attention mechanism. The combination of these three technologies makes the neural network have stronger feature extraction ability, higher prediction accuracy and better time series modeling ability.

[0171] First, the convolutional neural network is a neural network with local perception and weight sharing characteristics, which can extract features while preserving spatial information. In the prediction of distribution network node data, CNN can be used to capture the local features of node data, thereby improving the prediction performance of the model, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0172] Based on this, S311, through the convolutional neural network, the local features of node data are captured, as follows:

[0173]

[0174] wherein, is the feature representation of node i at time t; is the input data of node i at time t.

[0175] Secondly, the bidirectional long short-term memory network is a kind of recurrent neural network capable of capturing long-term dependencies in time series data. Unlike traditional LSTM, BiLSTM considers both past and future information at each time step. This bidirectional structure enables BiLSTM to better capture the time series relationship in the data when processing the node data of the power distribution network, thereby improving the accuracy of the prediction.

[0176] The BiLSTM neural network is composed of two LSTM neural networks with the same input but different information transmission directions. One is trained forward, and the other is trained backward, and the final output result is determined by the LSTM neural networks in both forward and backward directions, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0177] h t =f(w1X t +w2h t-1 );

[0178] h' t =f(w3X t +w5h' t+1 );

[0179] O t =g(w4h t +w6h' t );

[0180] where X t is the input at time t, w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, w6 are the corresponding weight matrices, h t-1 is the output of the previous time, h t is the output of the forward layer at time t, h' t+1 is the output of the next time, h' t is the output of the reverse layer at time t, O t is the output at time t.

[0181] Based on the above, in the present embodiment, S312, the long-term dependence relationship of the time series data is processed by the bidirectional long short-term memory network, as follows:

[0182]

[0183] wherein, is the time series feature of node i at time t; is the output of the previous time.

[0184] Finally, attention mechanism is a technique that can assign different weights to different input data. In the CNN-BiLSTM-Attention neural network, attention mechanism can help the model identify key time steps and features, so as to better focus on information useful for the prediction task. This can further improve the performance of the model in processing the node data prediction task of the power distribution network.

[0185] Attention originated from the simulation of human brain attention characteristics, and this method was first applied in the field of image processing. In the field of deep learning, the Attention mechanism assigns different weights to different features, giving larger weights to key content and smaller weights to other content. Through differentiated weight allocation, the efficiency of information processing can be improved. The structure of the Attention unit is as shown in Figure 5 .

[0186] The attention state transition process is as follows:

[0187]

[0188] wherein: α ti is the hidden layer output value h t of the BiLSTM for the current input; y1, y2, y3, … y t is the input sequence; h1, h2, h3, … h t is the hidden layer state value corresponding to the input sequence y1, y2, y3, … y t , that is, h t is the hidden layer state value corresponding to the input y t ; h' t is the final feature vector; V, W, U, b are learning parameters of the model, which are updated constantly during the model training process.

[0189] By collecting equipment measurement data, generator output data and other factors in the power distribution network as the input of the neural network, the output is the data of the important nodes or the nodes adjacent to the important nodes without monitoring and data acquisition system, phasor measurement unit and other observers.

[0190] Based on this, S313 calculates the attention weight through the attention mechanism and optimizes the feature selection, as shown below:

[0191]

[0192] wherein: α ij is the attention weight between node i and node j; a is a learnable attention parameter; N iis the set of neighbor nodes of node i; u is all neighbors of node i; T is the transpose operation.

[0203] wherein, is the time sequence feature of node i at time t; is the time sequence feature of node i at time t-1; is the input feature processed by the Dropout mask.

By evaluating the confidence of each node, the model can suppress the influence of low-confidence nodes during state estimation and avoid the interference of abnormal values on the final result.

[0206] c i =σ(W c ·h i );

[0207] wherein, σ is an activation function; W c is a learned weight matrix; h i is the feature representation of the node.

[0208] The credibility factor can dynamically adjust the attention weight between nodes and suppress the influence of low-confidence nodes.

[0219] To improve the scalability, deployment flexibility and parallel computing capability of the state estimation method in large-scale distribution network, the embodiment adopts a distributed state estimation architecture and a boundary coordination mechanism. This method fully considers the physical hierarchy and communication boundary constraints of the power grid structure, and realizes efficient deployment and accurate fusion in multi-region state estimation tasks through three mechanisms of region division, boundary state sharing and consistency optimization.

[0221] S51, region division.

[0222] S511, divide the whole distribution network graph structure into K non-overlapping subgraphs according to certain criteria, as follows:

[0223]

[0224] Satisfy the following relationship:

[0225]

[0226] Wherein, G k = (V k , E k ) is the kth subgraph; V k is the node set of the kth subgraph; E kis the edge set of the kth subgraph; k is the subgraph sequence number.

[0227] S512, based on the electrical distance of the region clustering division strategy, improve the physical rationality and regional K domain autonomy ability of the division, the specific content is as follows:

[0228] First, define the electrical distance between nodes i and j, as follows:

[0229]

[0230] Where d ij is the electrical distance between nodes i and j; the smaller the electrical distance represents the stronger the electrical coupling between the two nodes; Z ii is the impedance of node i; Z ij is the mutual impedance of nodes i and j; Z jj is the impedance of node j.

[0231] Second, construct the electrical distance matrix, as follows:

[0232] D = [d ij ].

[0233] Finally, through the spectral clustering algorithm, realize the region division, the optimization goal, as follows:

[0234]

[0235] This way ensures that the coupling between nodes in each sub-region is strong and the structure is compact, which facilitates local GNN model learning and state perception. In addition, the region division can also be combined with geographical information, communication topology and measurement correlation and other factors to optimize the joint modeling to improve the cross-regional collaboration efficiency.

[0236] S52, the boundary node introduces the state sharing mechanism, improves the state consistency and collaboration.

[0237] Let node i∈V k ∩V1 is the region boundary node, and the final fusion state of the node is as follows:

[0238]

[0239] Where, is the final fusion state of the node; is the hidden state output by the local GNN module; is the state received from the adjacent region; Fuse(·) is a fusion function, which can be defined as weighted average, gating mechanism or attention mechanism, as follows:

[0247]

[0248] wherein, is the local estimation loss within the region k, and λ is the cross-zone consistency regularization term weight.

[0249] By optimizing this loss function, the overall coordination and physical consistency of the whole network state estimation can be improved while maintaining the local accuracy.

[0250] Therefore, the power distribution network robust state estimation method based on the multi-modal graph neural network has the following beneficial effects:

[0251] (1) In terms of state estimation accuracy, the dual-graph structure effectively utilizes the statistical correlation information between the physical connection attributes of the power distribution network and the measurement points. Especially in low-observable areas, the gating fusion mechanism significantly enhances the perception and reconstruction ability of key node states. In cooperation with the pseudo-measurement point generation module, this method can still maintain the voltage estimation error below 2% level in the scene where the node monitoring missing rate exceeds 50%, which reflects strong model completion ability and accuracy.

[0252] (2) In terms of coping with abnormal disturbances and communication interruptions, the model introduces Dropout, confidence adjustment and abnormal perception attention mechanism during the training process, effectively improving the network's ability to identify and tolerate missing, noisy and abnormal data. In the test, when the input data contains 10% random noise or abnormal values, the estimation bias increases by no more than 0.5%, significantly better than the traditional least squares estimation and standard GNN model, verifying the robustness and practicality of the method under non-ideal working conditions.

[0253] (3) In terms of system deployment capability, the distributed estimation architecture designed in the application supports regional division of the distribution network and parallel deployment of GNN modules, especially for modern distribution systems with edge intelligent control requirements. The boundary node states are shared and consistent constraints are optimized among sub-graph models to ensure the overall estimation results of the system are consistent. Experiments show that this architecture can achieve fast parallel reasoning in large-scale multi-region distribution networks, with a system response time reduced by about 30%, and good scalability and deployment flexibility.

[0254] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit it, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand: it can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present application, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
