PowerZooJax is a JAX-based benchmark suite designed for reinforcement learning in power system operation. It offers five constrained Markov decision process tasks covering generation, transmission, distribution, distributed energy resources, and data center microgrids. By implementing power flow, economic dispatch, market clearing, and device dynamics as JAX computation graphs, the entire training and evaluation loop runs on the GPU, yielding significant speedups over CPU-based simulations and enabling standardized evaluation of policy returns, safety violations, and out-of-distribution stress conditions.
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 a robust variant of Monte Carlo Tree Search that addresses ambiguities in transition dynamics and reward distributions, bridging the gap between simulation-based planning and real-world deployment. It incorporates a robust power mean backup operator and exploration bonuses to guarantee finite-sample convergence at every node, achieving an ≠O(n−1/2) convergence rate for root value estimation comparable to standard MCTS. Empirical results demonstrate robust performance in planning tasks even under significant model mismatches.
