An Internet of Things Integrated Deep Graph Learning for Real-Time Voltage Stability Prediction in Electrical Distribution Networks: A Comprehensive Review

Ganiyu Adedayo Ajenikoko, Adeolu Olawuni

Abstract

Voltage instability has emerged as one of the most persistent threats to the reliability of modern electrical distribution networks. Traditional analytical and numerical methods are limited in handling the increasingly complex and data-rich environment of smart grids. Recent advances in artificial intelligence particularly the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and deep graph learning offer new possibilities for real-time voltage stability monitoring and prediction. This review examines the state-of-the-art developments in IoT-integrated deep graph learning frameworks for voltage stability prediction in distribution networks. It explores how graph-based neural architectures capture spatial-topological dependencies of grid components, how IoT sensor networks enable real-time data acquisition, and how hybrid learning models enhance prediction accuracy. The paper highlights methodological innovations, implementation challenges, and key research gaps, with a focus on practical deployment within emerging power systems.
