MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048051 A) filed by Mohan Babu University, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, on April 15, for 'quantum-based contingency analysis framework for power system security using big data and distribution factor modeling.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Golla Reshma; Dr. Suresh Babu Daram; Mr. J. Yashwanth; Ms. D. Harini; Mr. B. Vignesh; and Mr. A. Sai Krishna.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention presents a computational framework designed to improve contingency analysis in electrical power systems by integrating quantum computing techniques with big data analytics. Contingency analysis is essential for maintaining the stability and reliability of power grids, particularly under the widely used N-1 criterion, which evaluates the system's ability to withstand the failure of a single component. The proposed system utilizes distribution factors such as Power Transfer Distribution Factors (PTDF) and Line Outage Distribution Factors (LODF) derived from DC power flow analysis to estimate the impact of transmission line outages. These factors are represented in matrix form and processed using Singular Value Decomposition to obtain components suitable for quantum computation. Using the Linear Combination of Unitaries method, the matrices are converted into quantum circuit operations that enable the evaluation of contingency scenarios within a quantum computational framework. At the same time, big data analysis techniques are applied to operational power system data to classify contingencies based on their severity. By combining quantum computation with data-driven analysis, the invention provides a more efficient approach for identifying critical system disturbances and improving decision-making in power system operation."
