Abstract: FEDERATED LEARNING-BASED EDGE COMPUTING FRAMEWORK FOR PHASOR MEASUREMENT UNITS IN SMART GRIDS The present invention discloses a Federated Learning-Based Edge Computing Framework designed to enhance the performance, security, and efficiency of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data processing in smart grids. The framework integrates edge computing and federated learning to enable decentralized, privacy-preserving training of machine learning models directly at edge nodes. Each edge node locally processes PMU data and trains a model, sharing only model updates with a central server for global aggregation, thereby minimizing data transmission and preserving privacy. This architecture reduces network latency, enhances real-time grid monitoring capabilities, and ensures secure, distributed analytics across heterogeneous edge environments. The invention addresses key challenges of smart grid operations, including data confidentiality, high latency, and computational bottlenecks, and is scalable across large, geographically distributed power systems.
Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Federated Learning-Based Edge Computing Framework for Phasor Measurement Units in Smart Grids
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Phasor Measurement Units are used for real-time monitoring and controlling of power systems in smart grids. Conventional cloud-based processing methods exhibit high latency, security risk, and bandwidth restrictions. To overcome these challenges edge computing approaches have been used. Federated Learning (FL) uses decentralized learning which enhances preserving data privacy, low latency, improving communication, resource management, and grid resilience.
Existing methods use cloud-based PMU data processing, but this approach faces challenges like high latency, and lack of preserving data.US Patent 10,892,489 B2 – "Edge Computing method for Smart Grid Applications
Present commercial trends emphasize cloud-based data collection, synchrophasor integration of SCADA and PMU, and AI-based predictive analysis; however, they do not incorporate decentralized solutions, privacy preservation, or low latency.
Existing solutions depend on centralized cloud computing, which results in significant latency, bandwidth problems, and potential security liabilities, whereas edge computing does not provide privacy-preserving features. Present Federated Learning (FL) applications enhance cybersecurity and low-latency, secure, and decentralized processing of PMU data within smart grids.
