• Title: Model-Informed Generative Adversarial Network (MI-GAN) for Learning Optimal Power Flow
• Authors: Yuxuan Li, Chaoyue Zhao, and Chenang Liu
• Abstract summary: The optimal power flow (OPF) problem, as a critical component of power system operations, becomes increasingly difficult to solve due to the variability, intermittency, and unpredictability of renewable energy brought to the power system. Deep learning techniques, such as neural networks, have recently been developed to improve computational efficiency in solving OPF problems with the utilization of data. In this paper, we propose an optimization model-informed generative adversarial network (MI-GAN) framework to solve OPF under uncertainty.

• Abstract: The optimal power flow (OPF) problem, as a critical component of power system operations, becomes increasingly difficult to solve due to the variability, intermittency, and unpredictability of renewable energy brought to the power system. Although traditional optimization techniques, such as stochastic and robust optimization approaches, could be leveraged to address the OPF problem, in the face of renewable energy uncertainty, i.e., the dynamic coefficients in the optimization model, their effectiveness in dealing with large-scale problems remains limited. As a result, deep learning techniques, such as neural networks, have recently been developed to improve computational efficiency in solving OPF problems with the utilization of data. However, the feasibility and optimality of the solution may not be guaranteed, and the system dynamics cannot be properly addressed as well. In this paper, we propose an optimization model-informed generative adversarial network (MI-GAN) framework to solve OPF under uncertainty. The main contributions are summarized into three aspects: (1) to ensure feasibility and improve optimality of generated solutions, three important layers are proposed: feasibility filter layer, comparison layer, and gradient-guided layer; (2) in the GAN-based framework, an efficient model-informed selector incorporating these three new layers is established; and (3) a new recursive iteration algorithm is also proposed to improve solution optimality and handle the system dynamics. The numerical results on IEEE test systems show that the proposed method is very effective and promising.

  The integration of constrained optimization models as components in deep networks has led to promising advances on many specialized learning tasks. A central challenge in this setting is backpropagation through the solution of an optimization problem, which often lacks a closed form. This paper provides theoretical insights into the backward pass of unrolled optimization, showing that it is equivalent to the solution of a linear system by a particular iterative method. A system called Folded Optimization is proposed to construct more efficient backpropagation rules from unrolled solver implementations.
