Exciting times at LEA-AI as we kicked off our "VIP+" project last week, a venture into the world of reinforcement learning for power systems. Our team was honored to host a dynamic kick-off event, where we had the pleasure of engaging with multiple industrial partners. Together, we delved into the project's intricacies, shedding light on the latest research trends in data-driven control engineering for power electronic systems and…

Recently we have published the open-source software “ElectricGrid.jl - A Julia-based modeling and simulation tool for power electronics-driven electric energy grids” which also finished the review process within the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) now. The ElectricGrid.jl toolbox provides a transient simulation framework for electric energy grids based on power electronic converters. With a few lines of code, a parameterized electric…

Schematic structure of the safe reinforcement learning torque controller

Max Schenke, Barnabas Haucke-Korber and Oliver Wallscheid published an article about the theory and experimental investigation of reinforcement learning-based torque control in the IEEE Journal “Transactions on Power Electronics”. A focus point of this paper was safety during the training phase, which was a key element to learn a finite-set direct torque control policy in less than ten minutes. An exemplary training phase can be seen in the…

Steady-state error compensation (SEC) for an reinforcement learning agent's actor interacting with an environment to be controlled.

Daniel Weber, Max Schenke and Oliver Wallscheid from the LEA department published an article on improved reference tracking using reinforcement learning (RL) for power electronic systems in the IEEE Access journal. It could be proven that the introduced conceptual extension for arbitrary continuous control set RL algorithms significantly improves their steady-state control accuracy as it has been empirically demonstrated for both electric power…
