Machine Learning Guided Optimal Transmission Switching to Mitigate Wildfire Ignition Risk

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2510.25147v2 Announce Type: replace To mitigate acute wildfire ignition risks, utilities de-energize power lines in high-risk areas. The Optimal Power Shutoff (OPS) problem optimizes line energization statuses to manage wildfire ignition risks through de-energizations while reducing load shedding. OPS problems are computationally challenging Mixed-Integer Linear Programs (MILPs) that must be solved rapidly and frequently in operational settings.
