PowerZooJax: A JAX-based Power System Benchmark for Reinforcement Learning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Supervised Reinforcement Learning for the Coordination of Distributed Energy Resources

arXiv:2606. 24947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) is crucial for power system decarbonization, yet unlocking DERs' flexibility is challenged by their inherent uncertainties and modelling complexity.

Towards Affordable Energy: A Gymnasium Environment for Electric Utility Demand-Response Programs

The paper introduces DR‑Gym, an open‑source, Gymnasium‑compatible environment that simulates electric utility demand‑response programs at the market level. It uses a regime‑switching wholesale price model calibrated to real extreme events and physics‑based building demand profiles, providing a rich observational space and a configurable multi‑objective reward function for reinforcement learning. Baseline strategies and data snapshots demonstrate the simulator’s realism and learnability.
