Machine-Learning-Driven Matrix Ordering for Power Grid Analysis

A machine-learning-driven approach for matrix ordering is proposed for power grid analysis based on domain decomposition. It utilizes support vector machine or artificial neural network to learn a classifier to automatically choose the optimal ordering algorithm, thereby reducing the expense of solving the subdomain equations. Based on the feature selection considering sparse matrix properties, the proposed method achieves superior efficiency in runtime and memory usage over conventional methods, as demonstrated by industrial test cases.
