arXiv:2608. 08691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residential virtual power plants (VPPs) can provide grid flexibility by shifting household demand, but physical flexibility becomes dependable capacity only when residents authorize a plan and the promised response is delivered.
arXiv:2607. 14158v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This position paper explores how Agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) can support power-grid studies in a Transmission System Operator (TSO) context.
arXiv:2603. 26005v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Grid-interactive building control has emerged as a promising approach for improving demand-side flexibility in modern power systems.
CityLearn v3 is a configurable simulation and evaluation framework designed for realistic control studies of renewable energy communities (RECs). It models dynamic participation, equipment availability, service deadlines, and data quality, allowing for flexible-load deadlines, demand-response requests, local energy sharing, and failure scenarios within a single environment. The framework records controller inputs, distinguishes requested actions from applied ones, and provides reference controllers, performance indicators, and trajectory exports for comprehensive comparisons across communities.
The paper introduces EqGrid, a closed‑loop simulation that uses a low‑frequency, open‑weight LLM policy agent to set price, carbon limits, and subsidies for a community of empirically‑grounded household personas, while high‑frequency multi‑agent RL traders clear a continuous double auction on a physically constrained IEEE‑33‑bus grid. It demonstrates that the LLM can reduce energy‑poverty inequality—lowering the Gini of energy burden from 0.351 to 0.305 and mean burden by 28%—without increasing net grid cost, and that a compressed sub‑1B model retains 92–95% of this benefit at dramatically lower inference energy. The study also establishes a compute‑efficiency frontier and a decoupled‑safety design that eliminates grid violations. whyItMatters":"By showing that a lightweight LLM can effectively manage energy markets to reduce poverty and inequality while staying energy‑efficient, the work offers a practical, low‑carbon AI solution for humanitarian energy‑poverty interventions."
arXiv:2607. 24341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent studies use Large language models (LLMs) to simulate human opinions and decisions by prompting models with demographic, attitudinal, or persona-based descriptions.
arXiv:2607. 26710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid growth of AI workloads is turning data centers into large-scale, volatile, yet spatiotemporally flexible grid loads, creating an urgent need for coordinated electricity-computing scheduling.
The rapid growth of AI workloads is turning data centers into large-scale, volatile, yet spatiotemporally flexible grid loads, creating an urgent need for coordinated electricity-computing scheduling. Under stringent grid constraints, schedules from general-purpose large language models (LLMs) are often infeasible, causing line-flow violations and unserved load.

The paper introduces DR‑Gym, an open‑source, Gymnasium‑compatible environment that simulates electric utility demand‑response programs at the market level. It uses a regime‑switching wholesale price model calibrated to real extreme events and physics‑based building demand profiles, providing a rich observational space and a configurable multi‑objective reward function for reinforcement learning. Baseline strategies and data snapshots demonstrate the simulator’s realism and learnability.
