At high latitudes, many cities adopt a centralized heating system to improve the energy generation efficiency and to reduce pollution. In multi-tier systems, so-called district heating, there are a few efficient approaches for the flow rate control during the heating process. In this paper, we describe the theoretical methods to solve this problem by deep reinforcement learning and propose a cloud-based heating control system for implementation. A real-world case study shows the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed system controlled by humans, and the simulated experiments for deep reinforcement learning show about 1985.01 gigajoules of heat quantity and 42276.45 tons of water are saved per hour compared with manual control.

This paper develops a model-free volt-VAR optimization (VVO) algorithm via multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) in unbalanced distribution systems. This method is novel since we cast the VVO problem in unbalanced distribution networks to a
n intelligent deep Q-network (DQN) framework, which avoids solving a specific optimization model directly when facing time-varying operating conditions of the systems. We consider statuses/ratios of switchable capacitors, voltage regulators, and smart inverters installed at distributed generators as the action variables of the DQN agents. A delicately designed reward function guides these agents to interact with the distribution system, in the direction of reinforcing voltage regulation and power loss reduction simultaneously. The forward-backward sweep method for radial three-phase distribution systems provides accurate power flow results within a few iterations to the DQN environment. Finally, the proposed multi-objective MADRL method realizes the dual goals for VVO. We test this algorithm on the unbalanced IEEE 13-bus and 123-bus systems. Numerical simulations validate the excellent performance of this method in voltage regulation and power loss reduction.
In this paper, we study how to learn an appropriate lane changing strategy for autonomous vehicles by using deep reinforcement learning. We show that the reward of the system should consider the overall traffic efficiency instead of the travel effici
ency of an individual vehicle. In summary, cooperation leads to a more harmonic and efficient traffic system rather than competition
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.
Modern radio telescopes produce unprecedented amounts of data, which are passed through many processing pipelines before the delivery of scientific results. Hyperparameters of these pipelines need to be tuned by hand to produce optimal results. Becau
se many thousands of observations are taken during a lifetime of a telescope and because each observation will have its unique settings, the fine tuning of pipelines is a tedious task. In order to automate this process of hyperparameter selection in data calibration pipelines, we introduce the use of reinforcement learning. We test two reinforcement learning techniques, twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) and soft actor-critic (SAC), to train an autonomous agent to perform this fine tuning. For the sake of generalization, we consider the pipeline to be a black-box system where the summarized state of the performance of the pipeline is used by the autonomous agent. The autonomous agent trained in this manner is able to determine optimal settings for diverse observations and is therefore able to perform smart calibration, minimizing the need for human intervention.
The lifelong control problem of an off-grid microgrid is composed of two tasks, namely estimation of the condition of the microgrid devices and operational planning accounting for the uncertainties by forecasting the future consumption and the renewa
ble production. The main challenge for the effective control arises from the various changes that take place over time. In this paper, we present an open-source reinforcement framework for the modeling of an off-grid microgrid for rural electrification. The lifelong control problem of an isolated microgrid is formulated as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). We categorize the set of changes that can occur in progressive and abrupt changes. We propose a novel model based reinforcement learning algorithm that is able to address both types of changes. In particular the proposed algorithm demonstrates generalisation properties, transfer capabilities and better robustness in case of fast-changing system dynamics. The proposed algorithm is compared against a rule-based policy and a model predictive controller with look-ahead. The results show that the trained agent is able to outperform both benchmarks in the lifelong setting where the system dynamics are changing over time.
