This research paper investigates the effectiveness of learned constraint selection in security-constrained optimization problems, specifically within electrical power production. The study compares learned methods against a fixed 'umbrella' approach that enforces all observed binding constraints. The findings indicate that learned selection only provides a benefit when an enforced but inactive constraint incurs a cost, a scenario not typically present in standard security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) problems. However, in unit commitment problems, where such costs exist, a predictive pipeline incorporating learned selection significantly outperforms static methods. AI
