GridSFM: A Foundation Model for Solving AC Optimal Power Flow

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 24, 2026 · UTC

We introduce GridSFM, a framework that combines a pretrained foundation model across grid topologies with physics-informed fine-tuning for solving AC Optimal Power Flow (AC-OPF) at scale. It is a $15$ million parameter physics-inspired graph neural network pretrained across $54$ topologies of $500$ to $4{,}000$ buses. Our model attains a $2.45\%$ zero-shot generation-cost error on a $10{,}000$ bus case held-out operating conditions with no degradation as system size grows. Building on this, we pair the pretrained backbone with a physics-informed fine-tuning design based on Newton's method for
