With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, frequency response and its security are of significant concerns for reliable power system operations. Frequency-constrained unit commitment (FCUC) is proposed to address this challenge. Despite existing efforts in modeling frequency characteristics in unit commitment (UC), current strategies can only handle oversimplified low-order frequency response models and do not consider wide-range operating conditions. This paper presents a generic data-driven framework for FCUC under high renewable penetration. Deep neural networks (DNNs) are trained to predict the frequency response using real data or high-fidelity simulation data. Next, the DNN is reformulated as a set of mixed-integer linear constraints to be incorporated into the ordinary UC formulation. In the data generation phase, all possible power injections are considered, and a region-of-interests active sampling is proposed to include power injection samples with frequency nadirs closer to the UFLC threshold, which significantly enhances the accuracy of frequency constraints in FCUC. The proposed FCUC is verified on the the IEEE 39-bus system. Then, a full-order dynamic model simulation using PSS/E verifies the effectiveness of FCUC in frequency-secure generator commitments.

In this paper, we introduce a deep learning aided constraint encoding method to tackle the frequency-constraint microgrid scheduling problem. The nonlinear function between system operating condition and frequency nadir is approximated by using a neural network, which admits an exact mixed-integer formulation (MIP). This formulation is then integrated with the scheduling problem to encode the frequency constraint. With the stronger representation power of the neural network, the resulting commands can ensure adequate frequency response in a realistic setting in addition to islanding success. The proposed method is validated on a modified 33-node system. Successful islanding with a secure response is simulated under the scheduled commands using a detailed three-phase model in Simulink. The advantages of our model are particularly remarkable when the inertia emulation functions from wind turbine generators are considered.
This paper presents a novel hierarchical deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based design for the voltage control of power grids. DRL agents are trained for fast, and adaptive selection of control actions such that the voltage recovery criterion can be met following disturbances. Existing voltage control techniques suffer from the issues of speed of operation, optimal coordination between different locations, and scalability. We exploit the area-wise division structure of the power system to propose a hierarchical DRL design that can be scaled to the larger grid models. We employ an enhanced augmented random search algorithm that is tailored for the voltage control problem in a two-level architecture. We train area-wise decentralized RL agents to compute lower-level policies for the individual areas, and concurrently train a higher-level DRL agent that uses the updates of the lower-level policies to efficiently coordinate the control actions taken by the lower-level agents. Numerical experiments on the IEEE benchmark 39-bus model with 3 areas demonstrate the advantages and various intricacies of the proposed hierarchical approach.
This paper presents a constrained deep adaptive dynamic programming (CDADP) algorithm to solve general nonlinear optimal control problems with known dynamics. Unlike previous ADP algorithms, it can directly deal with problems with state constraints. Both the policy and value function are approximated by deep neural networks (NNs), which directly map the system state to action and value function respectively without needing to use hand-crafted basis function. The proposed algorithm considers the state constraints by transforming the policy improvement process to a constrained optimization problem. Meanwhile, a trust region constraint is added to prevent excessive policy update. We first linearize this constrained optimization problem locally into a quadratically-constrained quadratic programming problem, and then obtain the optimal update of policy network parameters by solving its dual problem. We also propose a series of recovery rules to update the policy in case the primal problem is infeasible. In addition, parallel learners are employed to explore different state spaces and then stabilize and accelerate the learning speed. The vehicle control problem in path-tracking task is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed method.
Federated Deep Learning (FDL) is helping to realize distributed machine learning in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, FDLs global model needs multiple clients to upload learning model parameters, thus still existing unavoidable communication overhead and data privacy risks. The recently proposed Swarm Learning (SL) provides a decentralized machine-learning approach uniting edge computing and blockchain-based coordination without the need for a central coordinator. This paper proposes a Swarm-Federated Deep Learning framework in the IoV system (IoV-SFDL) that integrates SL into the FDL framework. The IoV-SFDL organizes vehicles to generate local SL models with adjacent vehicles based on the blockchain empowered SL, then aggregates the global FDL model among different SL groups with a proposed credibility weights prediction algorithm. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that compared with the baseline frameworks, the proposed IoV-SFDL framework achieves a 16.72% reduction in edge-to-global communication overhead while improving about 5.02% in model performance with the same training iterations.
This paper proposes a novel end-to-end deep learning framework that simultaneously identifies demand baselines and the incentive-based agent demand response model, from the net demand measurements and incentive signals. This learning framework is modularized as two modules: 1) the decision making process of a demand response participant is represented as a differentiable optimization layer, which takes the incentive signal as input and predicts users response; 2) the baseline demand forecast is represented as a standard neural network model, which takes relevant features and predicts users baseline demand. These two intermediate predictions are integrated, to form the net demand forecast. We then propose a gradient-descent approach that backpropagates the net demand forecast errors to update the weights of the agent model and the weights of baseline demand forecast, jointly. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through computation experiments with synthetic demand response traces and a large-scale real world demand response dataset. Our results show that the approach accurately identifies the demand response model, even without any prior knowledge about the baseline demand.
