Power networks vary in many aspects, such as scale and structure. An index system can hardly cover all the information in various situations. Therefore, the efficiency of traditional methods using an index system is case-dependent and not universal. To solve this problem, an artificial intelligence based method is proposed for evaluating power grid node importance. First, using a network embedding approach, a feature extraction method is designed for power grid nodes, considering their structural and electrical information. Then, for a specific power network, steady-state and node fault transient simulations under various operation modes are performed to establish the sample set. The sample set can reflect the relationship between the node features and the corresponding importance. Finally, a support vector regression model is trained based on the optimized sample set for the later online use of importance evaluation. A case study demonstrates that the proposed method can effectively evaluate node importance for a power grid based on the information learned from the samples. Compared with traditional methods using an index system, the proposed method can avoid some possible bias. In addition, a particular sample set for each specific power network can be established under this artificial intelligence based framework, meeting the demand of universality.展开更多
