The paper introduces a hybrid framework that uses large language models (LLMs) to assist in designing behavioural and scenario specifications for an agent‑based model of solar photovoltaic adoption by Irish dairy farms. It integrates bounded behavioural rubrics—conservative, balanced, and optimistic—with structured scenario specifications into a calibrated ABM, preserving the original techno‑economic adoption mechanism while adding controlled behavioural modulation and scenario‑driven uncertainty analysis. Experiments across various policy settings and Monte Carlo simulations show stable, economically plausible outcomes, with up to a 13% increase in behavioural adoption compared to a logistic baseline, without causing unrealistic saturation dynamics.

The paper presents a reinforcement learning framework for designing solar PV adoption policies under uncertainty, integrating RL with a stochastic agent‑based model to simulate yearly adoption over a 16‑year horizon. Policymakers can choose annual incentives such as grants, subsidised loans, and feed‑in tariffs, and the study evaluates three RL algorithms—PPO, SAC, and TD3—within a scalarised reward framework that balances adoption gains against costs. Results show clear trade‑off patterns, with TD3 yielding the highest adoption at higher cost, PPO achieving the lowest cost with fewer adopters, and a balanced PPO policy offering a middle ground, all outperforming static baseline policies.

arXiv:2606. 02049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing integration of renewable energy sources into power systems, particularly in buildings equipped with photovoltaic (PV) panels and energy storage systems, introduces significant complexity in energy systems.
As agentic AI systems are increasingly applied to cyber-physical environments, their evaluation requires assessment of both task performance and trustworthiness. In decentralized energy markets, autonomous agents may improve market utility, but may also exploit invalid physical data, create artificial liquidity, and produce unstable governance decisions.
The paper presents a reinforcement learning framework for strategic investment decisions in the energy transition, aiming to balance profit, CO2 social costs, and competitive advantage across oil & gas, renewables, and CO2 reduction sectors. A custom simulation environment models the dynamic energy landscape up to 2050, allowing the RL agent to learn optimal policies that adapt to uncertainties in production, prices, and costs. Benchmarking shows the RL strategy consistently outperforms manually defined baseline policies in adaptability and long-term value creation.
AutoEnergyDesign is an LLM‑driven framework that optimizes building energy system designs by iteratively proposing configuration changes based on prior simulation results and automatically reverting unsuccessful changes via a git‑based mechanism. The agent combines a reasoning model with explicit memory (procedural, semantic, episodic, reflective), a constrained action interface, and a keep/revert signal, and evaluates designs using a 25‑year Net Present Cost model across eight technologies. In a case study with measured building loads, the agent (using Claude Haiku 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Opus 5.5) achieved an NPC within 1% of the best baseline after far fewer simulations, outperforming random search, TPE Bayesian optimization, and a $(1+1)$ evolution strategy.
