Generative Adversarial Networks-Based Synthetic PMU Data Creation for Improved Event Classification

A two-stage machine learning-based approach for creating synthetic phasor measurement unit (PMU) data is proposed in this article. This approach leverages generative adversarial networks (GAN) in data generation and incorporates neural ordinary differential equation (Neural ODE) to guarantee underly...
