Abstract: Accurate real-time monitoring of distribution networks becomes increasingly pivotal to ensure reliable and optimal operation of grid. Existing joint parameter-state estimation techniques predominantly focus on transmission systems, making their applicability to distribution systems challenging due to variations in available input data. Furthermore, the joint estimation techniques significantly suffer from computational complexity. Present disclosure provides a method and a system for personalized multi-subject text to image generation. The system first uses lossy Distflow equations and an inverse Physics-Informed Neural Network (iPINN) architecture for learning network voltage dynamics, drift matrix and network bus voltages from real-time bus power injection data and historical voltage data. Thereafter, the system determines a plurality of line parameters from the learnt drift matrix using a least-square optimization technique.

Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for real-time voltage stabilization of electrical distribution networks with non-linear power flows. Existing real-time voltage control techniques are neither performance nor stability guarantees. The present disclosure proposes an online robust control algorithm, which operates without knowing an exact information of the line-parameters and resolves the voltage stability problem. In the proposed method a load data, a distributed energy resources (DER) data, and a network data of an electrical distribution network is obtained, to obtain a voltage profile at each time-step of the electrical distribution network. Next, line-parameters of the electrical distribution network are predicted using an on-line convex optimization technique and a Gauss-Seidel technique.
