For large-scale power networks, the failure of particular transmission lines can offload power to other lines and cause self-protection trips to activate, instigating a cascade of line failures. In extreme cases, this can bring down the entire network. Learning where the vulnerabilities are and the expected timescales for which failures are likely is an active area of research. In this article we present a novel stochastic dynamics model for a large-scale power network along with a framework…

Simulations show that the probability-constrained FP-ACOPF dispatch points can delay the expected onset of cascades and reduce the probability of long severe cascades, by more than ten and two orders of magnitude, respectively, while incurring less than 1\% higher generation costs and load shedding.

This paper provides a general recipe for constructing MCMC samplers--including stochastic gradient versions--based on continuous Markov processes specified via two matrices, and uses the recipe to straightforwardly propose a new state-adaptive sampler: stochastics gradient Riemann Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (SGRHMC).
