Masterarbeit TH-Köln, 30.Okt.2023

This thesis explores the suitability of physics-aware neural networks for power quality state estimation in distribution grids. For that, power quality data was generated in a simulated environment and used for training and evaluation of dierent neural network models. Comprehensive data analyses were carried out, focusing on optimal representations and processing of power quality data for neural network applications. Comparative assessments with traditional fully connected architectures demonstrated the superior capabilities of physics-aware models, which utilize the physical grid structure as a regularization mechanism.
Despite increased computational complexity, eective methods were identified to address challenges posed by deep architectures and sparse connectivity. Best performing models achieved a mean squared error loss of 4 × 10⁻⁶, signicantly outperforming traditional models with a loss of 1.1 × 10⁻⁵. The results strongly indicate that physics-aware neural networks are suitable for power quality state estimation tasks. Promising avenues for expanding developed models include incorporation of physical laws in the learning process, potentially further constraining the network to physically possible states.
