| Summary: | This research presents a new method based on a combined temporal convolutional neural network and long-short term memory neural network for the real-time assessment of short-term voltage stability to keep the electric grid in a secure state. The assessment includes both the voltage instability (stable state or unstable state) and the fault-induced delayed voltage recovery phenomenon subjected to disturbance. The trained model uses the time series post-disturbance bus voltage trajectories as the input in order to predict the stability state of the power system in a computationally efficient manner. The proposed method also utilizes a transfer learning approach that acclimates to the pre-trained model using only a few labeled samples, which assesses voltage instability under unseen network topology change conditions. Finally, the performance evaluated on the IEEE 9 Bus and New England 39 Bus test systems shows that the proposed method gives superior accuracy with higher efficacy and thus is suitable for online application.
