The paper proposes a machine learning-based algorithm to solve the stochastic alternating current (AC) chance-constrained Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem, which is highly nonlinear and computationally demanding. The approach relies on Gaussian process regression (GPR) models that learn a simple yet non-convex data-driven approximation to the AC power flow equations. The proposed method uses various approximations for GP-uncertainty propagation and outperforms state-of-the-art sample-based chance constraint approaches. To further improve the robustness and complexity/accuracy trade-off, the paper proposes a fast data-driven setup using sparse and hybrid Gaussian processes (GP) framework.

The paper solves a big problem in power grids by making it easier to predict how electricity flows through the system when some things are uncertain. It uses special math called machine learning to make predictions that are more accurate and faster than before. This can help make sure that we have enough energy when we need it, and also helps keep our grid safe.
