The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Drexel University a $373,650 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to enhance the security and reliability of power systems using verified neural network models. The project aims to optimize neural network verification techniques tailored to the characteristics of modern power systems, providing power grid operators with safe and dependable tools. The research efforts seek to bridge the gap between power systems and robust neural network verification, encompassing three key thrusts: 1) extending neural network verifier applications to topology-aware power systems, 2) enhancing the effectiveness of current neural network verifiers by incorporating power system constraints, and 3) developing specialized verifiers for power systems to enable sensitivity analysis-based planning. This project is expected to run from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2027, and does not involve any sub-awards.
