Sample-Based Conservative Bias Linear Power Flow Approximations
The power flow equations are central to many problems in power system planning, analysis, and control. However, their inherent non-linearity and non-convexity present substantial challenges during problem-solving processes, especially for optimization problems. Accordingly, linear approximations are commonly employed to streamline computations, although this can often entail compromises in accuracy and feasibility. This paper proposes an approach termed Conservative Bias Linear Approximations (CBLA) for addressing these limitations. By minimizing approximation errors across a specified operating range while incorporating conservativeness (over- or under-estimating quantities of interest), CBLA strikes a balance between accuracy and tractability by maintaining linear constraints. By allowing users to design loss functions tailored to the specific approximated function, the bias approximation approach significantly enhances approximation accuracy. We illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach through several test cases.
