Abstract

This paper proposes a multiagent (MA) smart generation control (SGC) scheme for the coordination of automatic generation control (AGC) in power grids with system uncertainties. Under the control performance standards, SGC will undergo a non-Markov random process, of which the optimal solution can be resolved online by the reinforcement learning. Therefore, an MA decentralized correlated equilibrium Q(λ)-learning algorithm, and an MA stochastic dynamic game-based SGC simulation platform (SGC-SP) have been proposed for its implementation, which can achieve AGC coordination in a highly uncertain environment resulting from the increasing penetration of renewable energy. Single-agent Q-learning, Q(λ)-learning, R(λ)-learning, and proportional integral control are implemented and embedded in SGC-SP for the control performance analysis. Two case studies on both a two-area power system and the China Southern Power Grid model have been done, which verify its effectiveness and scalability.
