Abstract: Accurate topological connectivity is critical for the safe operation and management of low-voltage distribution grids (LVDGs). However, due to the complexity of the structure and the lack of measurement equipment, obtaining and maintaining these topological connections has become a challenge. This paper proposes a topology identification strategy for LVDGs based on a feature-enhanced graph attention network (F-GAT). First, the topology of the LVDG is represented as a graph structure using measurement data collected from intelligent terminals, with a feature matrix encoding the basic information of each entity. Secondly, the meta-path form of the heterogeneous graph is designed according to the connection characteristics of the LVDG, and the walking sequence is enhanced using a heterogeneous skip-gram model to obtain an embedded representation of the structural characteristics of each node. Then, the F-GAT model is used to learn potential association patterns and structural information in the graph topology, achieving a joint low-dimensional representation of electrical attributes and graph semantics. Finally, case studies on five urban LVDGs in the Wuhan region are conducted to validate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed F-GAT model.
