Two-layer Optimization Scheduling for Off-grid Microgrids Based on Multi-agent Deep Policy Gradient by Huicong FAN, Zhiguo DUAN, Zhiyong CHEN, Shijia ZHU, Hang LIU, Wenxiao LI, Yang YANG

“…To address the voltage limit violations and bidirectional power flow problems arising from high-penetration integration of distributed renewable energy, this paper proposes a two-layer active-reactive power cooperative optimization method to achieve cooperative optimal dispatch of active and reactive power in off-grid microgrids, ensuring the secure and stable operation of the system while enhancing operational economy. The lower-level model optimizes slow-regulating discrete devices based on mixed-integer second-order cone programming, while the upper-level model optimizes fast-regulating continuous devices using a multi-agent deep policy gradient algorithm. …”
