Reinforcement Learning and Rule-Based Peer-to-Peer Pricing in Residential PV-BES Communities

The paper compares rule‑based and reinforcement‑learning (RL) pricing mechanisms for peer‑to‑peer electricity trading in residential photovoltaic communities. Rule‑based benchmarks—bill‑sharing, mid‑market rate, and supply‑demand‑ratio pricing—outperform the best RL policy in a PV‑only setup, while RL policies achieve higher community savings when battery storage is added. Across both configurations, SDR‑shaped pricing outperforms multiplier‑based parameterization, but benefit distribution remains heterogeneous among households.

CityLearn v3: A Configurable Simulation and Evaluation Framework for Realistic Control Studies of Renewable Energy Communities

CityLearn v3 is a configurable simulation and evaluation framework designed for realistic control studies of renewable energy communities (RECs). It models dynamic participation, equipment availability, service deadlines, and data quality, allowing for flexible-load deadlines, demand-response requests, local energy sharing, and failure scenarios within a single environment. The framework records controller inputs, distinguishes requested actions from applied ones, and provides reference controllers, performance indicators, and trajectory exports for comprehensive comparisons across communities.
