Voltage-driven autonomous cooperative control of EHLs for load stabilization by Bing Qi, Rui Liu, Deying Zhang, Zhuoqun Wang, Qi Qi

“…Then, a voltage-driven distributed control model is developed, which utilizes the mapping relation between node voltages and transformer load rate to minimize the high-frequency communication overhead associated with large-scale EHLs dispatch while ensuring the control timeliness. Finally, a Q-decomposition Multi-agent Independent eXtension (QMIX) algorithm is used to learn the mapping relation, and the EHLs real-time optimal control strategies are generated through the utilization of Centralized Training Decentralized Execution (CTDE) framework. …”
