This paper studies Reinforcement Learning as an online controller for curtailment-aware workload shifting in wind-turbine-integrated high-performance computing (HPC) data centers. We introduce a reproducible fixed-day simulation framework with synthetic wind and price signals and delayed completion feedback, designed to be extensible toward more complex scenarios.

The paper introduces MTD3-BC, a model‑free offline reinforcement learning algorithm that optimizes yaw control for wind farms amid changing wind directions. By learning from a pre‑collected dataset and incorporating an action consistency term, it reduces the need for extensive simulator interactions. Experimental wind‑tunnel tests show that MTD3‑BC improves farm‑level power output by about 10% compared to a greedy baseline and matches a model‑based benchmark, all while cutting training costs dramatically.

The paper introduces Bidirectional Behavior Prior Distillation (B2PD), a method that uses action‑value priors to train a conditional variational autoencoder for generating high‑value behavior support. These expert behavior priors are then distilled into the online reinforcement learning agent, reducing inefficient exploration and stabilizing policy updates. Experiments on state‑ and pixel‑based tasks show that B2PD improves sample efficiency while maintaining stable learning dynamics.
