Abstract

Data-driven methods, including graph neural networks, have been studied for accelerating power flow calculations in recent years, but very little attention has been paid to the solution feasibility, which can be obtained by traditional solvers. This paper presents a Variational Graph Autoencoder (VGAE) that detects the power flow solution feasibility, using the IEEE 118-bus case, to assess the validity of the solutions provided by AI-driven solvers.
