Quantum algorithms for N-1 security in power grids
arxiv(2024)
Abstract
In recent years, the supply and demand of electricity has significantly
increased. As a result, the interconnecting grid infrastructure has required
(and will continue to require) further expansion, while allowing for rapid
resolution of unforeseen failures. Energy grid operators strive for networks
that satisfy different levels of security requirements. In the case of N-1
security for medium voltage networks, the goal is to ensure the continued
provision of electricity in the event of a single-link failure. However, the
process of determining if networks are N-1 secure is known to scale
polynomially in the network size. This poses restrictions if we increase our
demand of the network. In that case, more computationally hard cases will occur
in practice and the computation time also increases significantly. In this
work, we explore the potential of quantum computers to provide a more scalable
solution. In particular, we consider gate-based quantum computing, quantum
annealing, and photonic quantum computing.
