The paper compares rule‑based and reinforcement‑learning (RL) pricing mechanisms for peer‑to‑peer electricity trading in residential photovoltaic communities. Rule‑based benchmarks—bill‑sharing, mid‑market rate, and supply‑demand‑ratio pricing—outperform the best RL policy in a PV‑only setup, while RL policies achieve higher community savings when battery storage is added. Across both configurations, SDR‑shaped pricing outperforms multiplier‑based parameterization, but benefit distribution remains heterogeneous among households.

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 presents a machine‑learning based climate classification tailored for photovoltaic (PV) modules, incorporating both energy yield and module lifetime with climate‑dependent degradation. Using an interpolated dataset of twelve input features, the authors identify annual global horizontal irradiation and ambient temperature as the most influential predictors, achieving RMSEs of 0.007 MWh for yield and 1.5 years for lifetime. The resulting hierarchical clustering yields six primary climate clusters (Tropical, Desert, Continental, Temperate, Boreal, Polar) and 15 subclusters, with the low‑temperature continental climate delivering the highest discounted lifetime energy yield.

arXiv:2607. 11943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon physics-based simulations of battery degradation provide mechanistic insight but remain computationally expensive, limiting their use for dense exploration of operating conditions over extended cycle life.
This study evaluates four control strategies—rule-based, model predictive control (MPC), reinforcement learning without forecasts (RL‑NF), and reinforcement learning with forecasts (RL‑F)—for a renewable‑powered hydrogen supply chain. Using a unified, physically realistic simulation that includes electrolyzer constraints, storage dynamics, and grid limits, the authors find that MPC delivers the best economic performance by leveraging short‑term forecasts, while RL‑NF performs robustly without future information. RL‑F does not consistently outperform RL‑NF, indicating that forecast uncertainty and added state complexity can hinder forecast‑augmented learning.
