Application of Multiattention Mechanism in Power System Branch Parameter Identification by Zhiwei Wang, Liguo Weng, Min Lu, Jun Liu, Lingling Pan

“…The existing methods of power grid branch parameter identification suffer from two limitations. (1) Traditional methods only use manual experience or instruments to complete parameter identification of single branch characteristics, but they are only used to identify a single target and cannot make full use of the historical information of power grid data. (2) Deep learning methods can complete model training through historical data, but these methods cannot consider the constraints of power grid topological structure, which is equivalent to identifying connected power grid branches separately. …”
