Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Climate change has resulted in increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as blizzards and wind storms.These extreme events pose a severe risk to the safe and secure operation of power systems, which has motivated recent interest in assessing power system resilience to extreme weather.The random nature of these extreme events and the corresponding power system failures mandates resilience assessment in probabilistic frameworks.However, state-of-the-art probabilistic methods struggle to efficiently assess resilience across all possible failure scenarios (i.e., globally), presenting a significant barrier to practical resilience assessment.To overcome this, this thesis develops a novel method leveraging polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) models to efficiently assess power system resilience.Firstly, this thesis models a power system's response to an extreme weather event.An efficient resilience event model capable of modelling many failure mechanisms is presented: applying fragility curves to model component failures and the AC cascading failure model to simulate the system's response.The developed model is then applied to assess power system resilience.To improve computational efficiency and globally assess resilience, this thesis leverages PCE models, which approximate the system's resilience with a polynomial function computed from a small set of system response samples.However, issues in PCE stability (i.e., the reliable computation of PCE models with different sample sets) pose a significant barrier to this method's applicability.Therefore, this thesis proposes a novel experiment design method, the Maximin-Latin hypercube sampling (MmLHS) method, that improves stability by uniformly selecting the samples used in PCE model computation.A PCE-based method for resilience assessment is then proposed that leverages MmLHS to construct stable PCE models and efficiently assess resilience.To validate the proposed method case studies are performed on the IEEE 39-Bus and 118-Bus systems using real-world data.Numerical studies on the IEEE 39-Bus system demonstrate the improved stability obtained by the MmLHS method while further studies on the IEEE 39-Bus and 118-Bus systems demonstrate the proposed PCE-based method's accuracy and efficiency and showcase its application to xiv

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
