arXiv:2607. 12763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated Reinforcement Learning (FedRL) enables coordination of distributed energy resources without sharing raw local data, but standard aggregation methods such as FedAvg do not account for system-level constraints, often leading to unsafe global behavior.

The paper investigates using offline reinforcement learning to improve line‑selective tripping in distribution grids. A convolutional Q‑network trained with conservative Q‑learning (CQL) processes voltage‑current phasor and impedance data, optionally with raw waveforms, to predict faulted lines. On a realistic CIGRE medium‑voltage network, the best model achieved high per‑timestep precision, recall, and F1‑score, and correctly identified the first trip action in over 98% of fault episodes, though it mis‑tripped in a notable fraction of non‑fault cases.
