Knowledge Graph-Augmented ERNIE-CNN Method for Risk Assessment in Secondary Power System Operations

With the increasing complexity of modern power systems, traditional risk assessment methods relying on expert experience and historical data face challenges in accuracy and adaptability. This study proposes a knowledge graph-augmented ERNIE-CNN method to enhance risk assessment in secondary power system operations. First, we construct a domain-specific knowledge graph by integrating expert knowledge and operational standards, which enhances semantic understanding and logical reasoning capabilities. Second, an improved ERNIE-CNN model is developed, incorporating an attention mechanism to effectively fuse semantic features and spatial patterns from operational texts. The experimental results on a dataset of 3240 secondary operation records demonstrate the model’s superior performance, achieving precision, recall, and F1-scores of 0.878, 0.861, and 0.869, respectively, outperforming benchmarks like BERT. Furthermore, a visualization of the knowledge graph is implemented, providing interpretable decision support for risk management. The proposed method offers a robust framework for automating risk assessment in power systems, with potential applications in smart grid maintenance and safety-critical operational planning.
