The lack of sufficient labeled events and long training time limit the applicability of deep neural network-based power system event identification using synchrophasor data. In this paper, we propose to leverage transfer learning technique to boost the reliability and reduce the required training time of neural classifier for power system event identification. We use the weights of a neural classifier trained on one transmission system as the initial parameters of another neural classifier for a different transmission system. Numerical tests with real-world synchrophasor data from the Eastern and Western Interconnections of the United States show that the proposed transfer learning approach is very effective in not only improving the training reliability but also reducing the training time.
