Knowledge-data fusion framework for frequency security assessment in low-inertia power systems

Yurun Zhang, Wei Yao, Yutian Lan et al.

The integration of renewable energy via power electronics is transforming power grids into low-inertia systems, heightening the risks of frequency insecurity and widespread outages. Therefore, frequency security assessment (FSA) methods are urgently needed to ensure the reliable system operation. Recently, knowledge-data fusion models attempt to address the limitations of knowledge-driven (accuracy) and data-driven (generalization) FSA methods. However, current methods remain confined to shallow knowledge-data integration due to challenges in representing heterogeneous knowledge and establishing interactive mechanisms. Here, by classifing FSA domain knowledge into physics-guided and physics-constrained categories, we propose a guided learning-constrained network (GL-CN) framework, which deeply integrates domain knowledge across both network architecture and training process. In this framework, a data-driven model with dual input channels combining graph convolutional networks (GCN) and multilayer perceptrons (MLP) is proposed to extract both nodal and system-level power system features. Furthermore, guided learning enhances model generalization through data augmentation in pre-training utilizing physics-guided knowledge, while constrained network encodes physics-constrained knowledge into the network architecture and loss function to ensure physics-consistent and robust predictions. Validated on Yunnan Provincial Power Grid in China, our method reduces FSA time from days to seconds compared to traditional simulation, achieving 98% accuracy, robustness against 39.0% knowledge error, and generalization for 40%-60% renewable penetration. This provides a solid solution for mitigating blackouts caused by frequency insecurity and offers a generalizable paradigm for broader cross-domain problems.

FEAFA+: An Extended Well-Annotated Dataset for Facial Expression Analysis and 3D Facial Animation

Wei Gan, Jian Xue, Ke Lu et al.

Nearly all existing Facial Action Coding System-based datasets that include facial action unit (AU) intensity information annotate the intensity values hierarchically using A--E levels. However, facial expressions change continuously and shift smoothly from one state to another. Therefore, it is more effective to regress the intensity value of local facial AUs to represent whole facial expression changes, particularly in the fields of expression transfer and facial animation. We introduce an extension of FEAFA in combination with the relabeled DISFA database, which is available at https://www.iiplab.net/feafa+/ now. Extended FEAFA (FEAFA+) includes 150 video sequences from FEAFA and DISFA, with a total of 230,184 frames being manually annotated on floating-point intensity value of 24 redefined AUs using the Expression Quantitative Tool. We also list crude numerical results for posed and spontaneous subsets and provide a baseline comparison for the AU intensity regression task.
