Mauritanian military engineer publishes study on electricity networks
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Alakhbar

Mauritanian military engineer Sidi Abdallah Al Wafi has published a study on a hybrid method combining artificial intelligence and numerical computation to analyse electricity networks more quickly. The approach combines neural networks with the Newton-Raphson algorithm, according to Alakhbar, which cites a research abstract.
Mauritanian captain-engineer Sidi Abdallah El Wafi has published a study on calculating power flows in electricity networks, the Alakhbar news agency reports. The scientific paper, titled “Fast and Robust Probabilistic AC Power Flow via a Hybrid MLP/Newton-Raphson Framework”, appeared in the specialist journal *Electric Power Systems Research*, published by Elsevier.
The study proposes combining multilayer artificial neural networks (MLPs) and the Newton-Raphson numerical method to speed up the analysis of electricity networks while preserving the accuracy and reliability of results. The approach aims to improve power flow calculations, a step used to study the movement of electricity through a network.
