Understanding the Safety Requirements for Learning-based Power Systems Operations
Yize Chen, Daniel Arnold, Yuanyuan Shi, Sean Peisert
Recent advancements in machine learning and reinforcement learning have brought increased attention to their applicability in a range of decision-making tasks in the operations of power systems, such as short-term emergency control, Volt/VAr control, long-term residential demand response and battery energy management. Despite the promises of providing strong representation of complex system dynamics and fast, efficient learned operation strategies, the safety requirements of such learning paradigms are less discussed. This paper explores the design requirements on both data and model side of such learning algorithms by exploiting the impacts of adversarial attacks on safety critical system operations. Case studies performed on both voltage regulation and topology control tasks demonstrated the potential vulnerabilities of the standard reinforcement learning algorithms, and possible measures of machine learning robustness and security are discussed for power systems operation tasks.
