Abstract

In this study, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) approach for load frequency control (LFC) of multi-area power system over communication network considering communication delay and packet loss is presented. A networked control system (NCS) is framed to model a constant delay and packet loss using Markovian approach. The controller using PSO based MARL technique having two levels of controlled action in each area of power system act as an estimator agent and controller agent respectively. The proposed method for frequency regulation of multi-area power system is studied in detail and verified for different types of load disturbances. In addition, to check the system dynamic performance of electric power system a mean square errors (MSEs) of states with different value of communication delay are computed. The simulation results of this study is validated and compared with some pre-design methods available from literatures, along with capacity of multi agent system (MAS) for application of LFC in power system over communication network.
