Abstract

Power grid engineering is necessary for the distribution of power, but problem detection and categorization are made extremely difficult by their growing complexity, particularly with the incorporation of renewable energy sources. Decision trees and support vector machines are two examples of fault detection techniques that frequently fail to handle the dynamic and non-stationary character of power grid data. These techniques’ efficacy in real-time defect identification is limited because they are unable to capture the complex relationships and temporal dependencies present in time-series data. Furthermore, a lot of conventional models are unable to generalize to different kinds of problems, which results in errors and delays in fault identification. For improved fault detection and classification in power grids, this research suggests a hybrid approach that combines Temporal Fusion Transformers (TFT) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural networks. While the LSTM neural network is used to represent sequential data, the TFT model is particularly good at capturing complicated linkages in time-series data. By combining these two models, the suggested approach can improve grid efficiency and dependability by offering precise fault forecasts in real-time. The findings show that the suggested hybrid model works better than conventional techniques, with a fault classification accuracy of 98.66% as opposed to decision trees’ 97.42% and SE-CDAE’s 97.98% accuracy. The performance of the model demonstrates its potential for real-time implementation in contemporary power grids, guaranteeing improved fault identification and prompt reactions to avert system breakdowns.
