The field of power system dynamics and control is witnessing significant advancements, driven by the increasing share of renewable energy sources and the need for more efficient and robust control methods. Researchers are exploring new approaches to modeling and analyzing power systems, including the use of complex phase analysis, artificial neural networks, and topology-aware graph neural networks. These innovations aim to improve the accuracy and scalability of power flow estimation, grid impedance estimation, and stability analysis. Noteworthy papers in this area include the proposal of a Matlab-based toolbox for automatic EMT modeling and small-signal stability analysis, and the development of a novel adaptive gain-scheduling control scheme for Virtual Synchronous Generators. Another significant contribution is the introduction of a gated graph neural network surrogate for AC power-flow estimation, which demonstrates improved performance and generalization capabilities compared to existing methods.
