Learning Fast Approximations For Nonconvex Optimization Problems Via Deep Learning With Applications To Power Systems.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
Nonlinear convex optimization has provided a great modeling language and a powerful solution tool for the control and analysis of power systems over the last decade. A main challenge today is solving non-convex problems in real-time. However, if an oracle can guess, ahead of time, a high quality initial solution, then most non-convex optimization problems can be solved in a limited number of iterations using off-the-shelf solvers. In this proposal, we study how deep learning can provide good approximations for real-time power system applications. These approximations can act as good initial solutions to any exact algorithm. Alternatively, such approximations could be satisfactory to carry out real-time operations in power systems.
First, we address the problem of joint power system state estimation and bad data identification. We propose a deep learning model that provides high quality approximations in milliseconds.
Second, we address the problem multi-step ahead power system state forecasting and advocate sequence-to-sequence models for better representation.
Lastly, we study the problem of learning fast approximations of the optimal basis of a linear program produced by the simplex algorithm. We cast the problem as a simple classification task and propose a deep learning model.
