Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning for Distribution System Voltage Control With Topology Changes
This letter proposes a multi-task deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach for distribution system voltage regulation considering topology changes via PV smart inverter control. The key idea is to encode the topology as an additional state for the DRL and leverage the multi-task...

Droop Control-Based Dispatch of an Islanded Microgrid with Multiple Grid-Forming Sources
Before rotating, fossil fuel-based, synchronous generators (SGs) are phased out, in line with renewable generation goals, grid-forming (GFM) inverters are expected to parallel SGs. Primary droop control allows GFM inverters to share power without communication; however, it is nece...
