This paper proposes novel architectures for spatio-temporal graph convolutional and recurrent neural networks whose structure is inspired by the physics of power systems. The key insight behind our design consists in deriving so-called shift operator (GSO), which cornerstone Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN) Recursive (GRN) designs, from flow equations. We demonstrate effectiveness proposed two applications: forecasting grid state finding a stochastic policy foresighted voltage...
In this paper, we present SoDa, an irradiance-based synthetic Solar Data generation tool to generate realistic sub-minute solar photovoltaic (PV) output power time series, that emulate the weather pattern for a certain geographical location. Our relies on National Radiation Database (NSRDB) obtain irradiance and data patterns site. Irradiance is mapped onto PV model estimate of plant's 30-min output, based configuration panel.

Power systems often rely on natural gas pipeline networks to supply fuel for gas-fired generation. Market inefficiencies and a lack of formal coordination between the wholesale power delivery infrastructures may magnify broader impact cyber-attack pipeline.

This paper proposes a model-free Volt-VAR control (VVC) algorithm via the spatio-temporal graph ConvNet-based deep reinforcement learning (STGCN-DRL) framework, whose goal is to smart inverters in an unbalanced distribution system. We first identify shift operator (GSO) based on power flow equations. Then, we develop ConvNet (STGCN), testing both recurrent ConvNets (RGCN) and convolutional (CGCN) architectures, aimed at capturing spatiotemporal correlation of voltage phasors. The STGCN layer...
