  Power grids are one of the most important components of infrastructure in
today's world. Every nation is dependent on the security and stability of its
own power grid to provide electricity to the households and industries. A
malfunction of even a small part of a power grid can cause loss of
productivity, revenue and in some cases even life. Thus, it is imperative to
design a system which can detect the health of the power grid and take
protective measures accordingly even before a serious anomaly takes place. To
achieve this objective, we have set out to create an artificially intelligent
system which can analyze the grid information at any given time and determine
the health of the grid through the usage of sophisticated formal models and
novel machine learning techniques like recurrent neural networks. Our system
simulates grid conditions including stimuli like faults, generator output
fluctuations, load fluctuations using Siemens PSS/E software and this data is
trained using various classifiers like SVM, LSTM and subsequently tested. The
results are excellent with our methods giving very high accuracy for the data.
This model can easily be scaled to handle larger and more complex grid
architectures.
