CNN-Based Digital Twin Model for Ultra-High Voltage Direct Current System Loss Measurement

The ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) system is widely constructed due to its suitability for large-capacity long-distance transmission, and its losses have become an important part of the power grid losses. However, the overall and subcomponent losses of the power system are difficult to measure by measuring devices or accurately calculated by existing algorithms. In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based digital twin model for UHVDC system loss measurement is proposed. The parameters and data of the physical system are fed into the digital space system through the data interaction. In the digital twin model of the digital space system, a CNN network with added topology information extraction layers and key equipment parameter adaptive perception layers excavates the deep multidimensional correlation features of the digital space mapping data. Then a multi-task joint processing layer fuses the extracted deep features and missing information to calculate the total and sub-component losses. The training and testing results based on actual UHVDC project data show that the mean absolute error (MAE) is 0.9, while R-2 is 0.9999, which proves the accuracy of the proposed digital twin model is superior to mainstream deep learning models. This model is embedded in digital twin devices and applied in actual UHVDC converter stations.
