Distributed multi-agent reinforcement learning for multi-objective optimal dispatch of microgrids.

ISA Trans

January 2025

School of Control Science and Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan, 250012, China. Electronic address:

The distributed microgrids cooperate to accomplish economic and environmental objectives, which have a vital impact on maintaining the reliable and economic operation of power systems. Therefore a distributed multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithm is put forward incorporating the actor-critic architecture, which learns multiple critics for subtasks and utilizes only information from neighbors to find dispatch strategy. Based on our proposed algorithm, multi-objective optimal dispatch problem of microgrids with continuous state changes and power values is dealt with.

This study endeavors to develop a predefined-time adaptive neural network decentralized controller for large-scale interconnected nonlinear systems with input hysteresis. Within the framework of the backstepping technique, the proposed control scheme guarantees that the tracking error converges to a small bounded set within a predefined settling time. The upper limit of this convergence time is determined by a single adjustable control parameter.

Salmonellosis is the second most important zoonosis in Europe, with consumption of contaminated broiler meat and its derivative products as an important source of infection. One of the many measures to prevent Salmonella contamination of poultry meat at the slaughterhouses is logistic slaughter, this means that per day the contaminated flocks are slaughtered after the Salmonella free flocks. However, this principle relies on a monitoring system at farm level that is prone to false negatives.

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are pursued due to their potential for better safety and high energy density. However, the energy density of the cathode for ASSBs does not seem to be satisfactory due to the low utilization of active materials (AMs) at high loading. With small amount of solid electrolyte (SE) powder in the cathode, poor electrochemical performance is often observed due to contact loss and non-homogeneous distribution of AMs and SEs, leading to high tortuosity and limitation of lithium and electron transport pathways.
