System and method for enhancing power flow analysis convergence

Abstract

A system and method for enhancing power flow analysis convergence are provided. The method includes receiving a first power system artifact from one or more systems associated with a power system. The first power system artifact includes a plurality of data elements associated with the power system at a given time instant. The method further includes extracting a dataset from an archival system. The dataset is extracted based on one or more appropriate data elements selected from the plurality of data elements. The method further includes determining from the extracted dataset a prediction of initial conditions for the power flow analysis using a machine learning algorithm and assigning target variables of the predicted initial conditions to the first power system artifact. Thereafter, the method includes performing the power flow analysis on the first power system artifact using the assigned target variables.
