Distributed secondary control for DC microgrids using two-stage multi-agent reinforcement learning by Fei Li, Weifei Tu, Yun Zhou, Heng Li, Feng Zhou, Weirong Liu, Chao Hu

“…However, the one-stage reward function incorporating both voltage regulation and current sharing results in the significant bus voltage fluctuations and long current sharing time. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a two-stage reinforcement learning secondary control method for DC microgrids, which can effectively suppress the bus voltage fluctuations and reduce the current sharing time. …”
