Machine learning models for power systems show generalization failures

A new paper published on arXiv investigates the generalization failures of machine learning models used for power system protection. The study found that while overall F1 scores remained similar when models were tested on different relays than they were trained on, the false-positive rate significantly increased. This suggests that aggregate metrics can mask critical location-specific changes in alarm behavior, emphasizing the need to evaluate different error types separately. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for careful evaluation of ML models in critical infrastructure to avoid masked failure modes.

    Characterizing Cross-Relay Generalization Failure in Machine Learning-Based Power System Protection

    arXiv:2610.28348v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning-based fault detectors are often evaluated at the relay locations used for training, although local voltage and current measurements vary across power networks. This work investigates cross-relay generalization for b…
