Abstract
The large-scale integration of renewable energy sources has led to a significant increase in the number of harmonic sources within distribution networks. Concurrently, the altered supply modes introduced by renewable integration have caused dynamic changes in the network topology. Therefore, this paper proposes a three-phase distribution network harmonic source location method based on a physics-informed topology adaptive graph convolutional network. Firstly, a harmonic pseudo-measurement method based on emission characteristics modelling is developed to address the shortage of harmonic measurements. Secondly, considering the dynamic changes in the distribution network topology, a multi-layer perception topology adaptive graph convolutional neural network is proposed, which is used to establish the mapping relationship between harmonic measurements and state variables. Meanwhile, the harmonic transfer equation and system parameters are embedded into the neural network training as physical constraints to ensure the results conform to physical properties. Then, a harmonic source identification criterion is established, and the long-term statistical index derived from the estimated harmonic injection current is used to locate harmonic sources in the distribution network. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified in the IEEE 37-bus system and the actual system.

INTRODUCTION: Fault localization in active distribution networks (ADNs) is challenging because feeder topology and electrical coupling may become inconsistent under operating conditions with high penetration of distributed energy resources. Moreover, purely data-driven models often provide limited physical interpretabi...

Probabilistic power flow quantifies voltage and phase angle uncertainty under variable photovoltaic generation, but repeated AC Monte Carlo simulation is costly. A local topology change also modifies the electrical operator and state dimension when only a small target data set is available. We propose a Basis Constrain...
