Chebyshev networks learn power oscillations: baking initial speed into the trial solution cuts rotor-angle error from 1.59% to 0.29%
In power-system dynamic simulation, physics-informed neural networks built on multilayer perceptrons are limited by spectral bias toward smooth functions and struggle to capture electromechanical oscillations, while B-spline physics-informed Kolmogorov-Arnold networks are costly to train. mac-PIKAN embeds the closed-form modal response of the linearized swing equation as a fixed term in the trial solution and uses a Chebyshev-basis KAN to learn a nonlinear correction that vanishes at the initial time, so both initial rotor angle and speed hold exactly. On the single-machine infinite-bus benchmark its mean rotor-angle and frequency errors are 0.29% and 0.99%, against 1.59% and 5.26% for the PINN, and the advantage persists with less training data and at lower damping.
