Distribution System Topology Detection and State Estimation Using a Physics-consistent Dynamic Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Network
State estimation is the foundation of situational awareness in distribution systems and also a prerequisite for secure
reliable
and efficient operation. However
timely acquisition of the actual operating topology is hindered by limited measurement coverage and the lack of switch status information in real time. Meanwhile
as distributed energy resources and flexible loads continue to penetrate
increasingly diverse operating modes are observed
and topological uncertainty is further exacerbated by frequent switching
posing severe challenges to state estimation. To address these issues
this paper proposes a dynamic spatiotemporal graph neural network method with physical consistency for topology detection and state estimation. A design with a single encoder and multiple decoders is adopted
under which spatiotemporal features from multiple sources are extracted by a shared encoder and topology detection results and system states are jointly produced by the decoders. An adaptive dynamic graph mechanism is introduced
by which electrical correlations among nodes are inferred from measurements in real time
thereby addressing the difficulty of constructing a dynamic graph when only part of the topology is observable. In addition
power flow equations are embedded in the loss as physical consistency constraints. As a result
interpretability is improved and robustness across operating conditions is enhanced. As shown by simulation studies
high accuracy is maintained under sparse measurements and strong noise
and comparable accuracy is sustained for topologies unseen during training without transfer learning. Generalization across scenarios is thereby demonstrated
and a physically interpretable
dynamically adaptive solution for topology detection and state estimation is also provided.
