arXiv:2606.03125v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning proxies for Alternating Current Optimal Power Flow (ACOPF) lack systematic methods for determining architectural size. This paper conducts a constructive thought experiment to answer a fundamental inquiry: how wide must a neural network be to almost accurately approximate the ACOPF manifold? We introduce a Loss-Guided Neural Densification (LG-ND) algorithm that incrementally discovers necessary capacity by expanding only when the current deep neural network topology fails to improve further. Empirical results across various IEEE sys
The increasing complexity and scale of power grids demand more efficient management, and AI offers a promising avenue for optimizing these intricate systems.
This research addresses a fundamental challenge in applying deep learning to critical infrastructure like power grids, improving the reliability and efficiency of AI proxies for optimal power flow.
The development of systematic methods for sizing neural networks in ACOPF proxies will lead to more robust and deployable AI solutions for grid management.
