• Abstract: The simulation of power system dynamics poses a computationally expensive task. Considering the growing uncertainty of generation and demand patterns, thousands of scenarios need to be continuously assessed to ensure the safety of power systems. Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have recently emerged as a promising solution for drastically accelerating computations of non-linear dynamical systems. This work investigates the applicability of these methods for power system dynamics, focusing on the dynamic response to load disturbances. Comparing the prediction of PINNs to the solution of conventional solvers, we find that PINNs can be 10 to 1000 times faster than conventional solvers. At the same time, we find them to be sufficiently accurate and numerically stable even for large time steps. To facilitate a deeper understanding, this paper also present a new regularisation of Neural Network (NN) training by introducing a gradient-based term in the loss function. The resulting NNs, which we call dtNNs, help us deliver a comprehensive analysis about the strengths and weaknesses of the NN based approaches, how incorporating knowledge of the underlying physics affects NN performance, and how this compares with conventional solvers for power system dynamics.

  We propose an enhanced neural network framework designed for scientific machine learning applications involving long temporal sequences. By reformulating the original Mechanistic Neural Network (MNN) we reduce the computational time and space complexities from cubic and quadratic with respect to the sequence length, respectively, to linear. Extensive experiments demonstrate that S-MNN matches the original MNN in precision while substantially reducing computational resources.

  This paper proposes a meshless deep learning algorithm, enriched physics-informed neural networks (EPINNs) to solve dynamic Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations. The EPINNs takes the traditional physics-informed neural networks as the foundation framework, and adds the adaptive loss weight to balance the loss functions. Numerical results indicate that the new method has better applicability than traditional numerical methods in solving such coupled nonlinear systems.

  We investigate the robustness of dynamic mechanism in DyNNs and how dynamic mechanism design impacts the robustness of DyNNs. We find that attack transferability from DyNNs to SDNNs is higher than attack transferability from SDNNs to DyNNs.

• Characterizing possible failure modes in physics-informed neural networks [55.83255669840384]
  Recent work in scientific machine learning has developed so-called physics-informed neural network (PINN) models. We demonstrate that, while existing PINN methodologies can learn good models for relatively trivial problems, they can easily fail to learn relevant physical phenomena even for simple PDEs. We show that these possible failure modes are not due to the lack of expressivity in the NN architecture, but that the PINN's setup makes the loss landscape very hard to optimize.
