Explainable eigenvalue-based identification of inverter dynamics

Explainable eigenvalue-based identification of inverter dynamics
The proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs) presents a significant modeling challenge, creating a dichotomy between intractable first-principles (white-box) models and uninterpretable, purely data-driven (black-box) models.

The methodology employs a Koopman autoencoder to discern the system's underlying linear dynamics in a latent space, from which dominant system eigenvalues are subsequently extracted. This process yields a physically meaningful, control-oriented linear model without requiring knowledge of the inverter's proprietary internal structure. The efficacy of the proposed framework is rigorously validated by comparing its captured eigenvalues and open-loop transient response against a high-fidelity benchmark, demonstrating high accuracy in capturing the true system dynamics.

Abstract

The proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs) presents a significant modeling challenge, creating a dichotomy between intractable first-principles (white-box) models and uninterpretable, purely data-driven (black-box) models. This paper introduces a framework that bridges this chasm by identifying an explainable, grey-box model for inverters from passive operational data. The methodology employs a Koopman autoencoder to discern the system's underlying linear dynamics in a latent space, from which dominant system eigenvalues are subsequently extracted. This process yields a physically meaningful, control-oriented linear model without requiring knowledge of the inverter's proprietary internal structure. The efficacy of the proposed framework is rigorously validated by comparing its captured eigenvalues and open-loop transient response against a high-fidelity benchmark, demonstrating high accuracy in capturing the true system dynamics.
