The model uses a genetic algorithm for structural search and parameter tuning and optimizes the model structure, a convolutional neural network for feature extraction, and then a bi-directional gated recurrent unit network for sequence modeling, which can better capture the correlations and dependencies in time series data and effectively improve the prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the model. In the experimental validation, the prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the method on multiple data sets are better than those of traditional methods and other deep learning-based methods, so the method proposed in this paper can effectively predict and analyze power system faults and provide important support and help for the operation and management of power systems.
