Accurate line parameters are critical for and dispatch in distribution systems. External operating condition variations affect line parameters, reducing the accuracy of state estimation and power flow calculations. While many methods have been proposed and obtained results rather acceptable, there is room for improvement as they don’t fully consider line connections in known topologies. Furthermore, inaccuracies in measurement devices and data acquisition systems can introduce noise and outliers, impacting the reliability of parameter identification. To address these challenges, we propose a line parameter identification method based on Graph Attention Networks and Multi-gate Mixture-of-Experts. The topological structure of the power grid and the capabilities of modern data acquisition equipment are utilized to capture. We also introduce a multi-task learning framework to enable joint training of parameter identification across different branches, thereby enhancing computational efficiency and accuracy. Experiments show that the GAT-MMoE model outperforms traditional methods, with notable improvements in both accuracy and robustness.
