Data-driven load frequency control for stochastic power systems : a deep reinforcement learning method with continuous action search

This letter proposes a data-driven, model-free method for load frequency control (LFC) against renewable energy uncertainties based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in continuous action domain. The proposed method can nonlinearly derive control strategies to minimize frequency deviation with fas...
