This study tackles power system stability during transients, where parameters are uncertain. It introduces a creative use of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), called Ensemble of PINNs (E-PINNs), to precisely estimate vital factors like rotor angle and inertia amidst uncertainties. Leveraging the physics-based swing equations, E-PINNs offer accurate parameter estimations and provide insights into potential uncertainties, enhancing our understanding of system behavior. Demonstrated on $1$-bus and $2$-bus systems, E-PINNs excel in handling parameter variability and limited data. This pioneering approach in machine learning for power systems advances transient stability analysis, offering more dependable and computationally efficient methods.
