Risk and Anomaly Identification for Distribution Network Optimal Operation Based on Reinforcement Learning and Uncertainty Quantification

The paper presents a deep reinforcement learning framework that explicitly incorporates uncertainty quantification for risk and anomaly identification in distribution network operation. It combines distributional and Bayesian DRL to separate total uncertainty into aleatoric (inherent risk) and epistemic (out‑of‑distribution anomalies) components. The epistemic estimates guide exploration during training and enable anomaly detection with fallback control during deployment, while aleatoric estimates assess intrinsic operational risk.
