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.

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.
LOOP-MAC is a decentralized learning-based framework for coordinating distributed energy resources in a virtual power plant. It guarantees local feasibility by construction and reduces the aggregate commitment gap through a two-stage decision process: learned coordination with neural optimizers and a local adjustment step that rebalances schedules without extra communication. In a 100-agent test, five communication rounds plus adjustment lowered the commitment gap from 5.1% to 0.75% and the optimality gap from 3.93% to 3.07%, with per-agent computation around 1.1 ms.

The paper introduces Hierarchical Reinforcement and Collective Learning (HRCL), a framework that combines multi‑agent reinforcement learning (MARL) with decentralized coordination. HRCL uses MARL at a high level to generate strategic guidance that limits the decision space for low‑level agents, enabling efficient short‑term coordination while considering long‑term effects. Experiments on synthetic, energy‑management, and drone‑swarm scenarios demonstrate faster convergence and significant reductions in system‑wide and individual costs compared to standalone MARL.
