However, with the growing demand for high-power charging, the electrical grid faces significant challenges as electric vehicle (EV) adoption rises, particularly in the presence of stochastic energy sources. Consequently, the need for robust regulation strategies to manage distribution system uncertainties, especially in frequency regulation, is becoming more critical. Distribution systems, interconnected through multi-terminal soft open points (SOPs), are evolving into highly controllable, integrated, and flexible architectures. Performance is further enhanced by incorporating a dedicated terminal for hybrid hydrogen energy storage. Additionally, the integration of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) operations has been explored. To effectively manage these operational frameworks, a modified deep reinforcement learning (RL) strategy based on the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm is proposed. Multi-agent deep RL is employed, generating multiple control signals per agent based on reward functions derived from a quadratic optimization function within the model predictive control (MPC) framework. To ensure an optimal control action waveform and enhance system performance, each DDPG deep RL agent's control action value is scaled by its observation value, integral, and derivative, integrated through a filter element. When applying the proposed modified deep RL strategy alongside the components, the rate of frequency change and power transfer fluctuations achieved minimal steady-state errors in the range of × 10<sup>−8</sup>, with significantly damped overshoot and undershoot levels. This approach effectively maintains system performance, outperforming other simulated scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":419,"journal":{"name":"Renewable Energy","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 124537"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145216538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key aspect of this approach lies in the precise regulation of the duty cycle, a parameter constrained between 0 and 1, which directly influences the output voltage of the DC-DC Boost converter. The DTSF controller is thus designed to dynamically adjust this duty cycle, enabling the system to reach and maintain the maximum power point with robustness and stability, even under disturbed conditions.

This characteristic of sky luminance is crucial for radiosity-based methods where luminance is used to determine energy transfer between surfaces. Consequently, the accuracy of a radiosity-based model will depend upon how well it can capture the subtle variations of sky luminance. In this study, both the accuracy and the performance of three luminance models are evaluated: the All-Weather model, the All-Sky model, and the CIE Standard General Sky model, focusing on their capability to replicate luminance at any point in the sky and at any given time. The results showed that while the CIE Standard Sky model offered the highest accuracy, it required more complex input data. The All-Weather and the All-Sky models rely on radiometric measurements. Both produced reliable results, with the All-Weather model standing out, because of its efficiency and minimal data requirements. Despite those strong points, all the models demonstrated higher error rates near the horizon, due to the challenges of accurately modeling luminance in this region. In this study, two radiosity methods were compared for calculating indoor illuminance: the Simplified Radiosity Algorithm (SRA), which considers spatial luminance variations across the openings, and the DeLight method, which assumes a uniform luminance distribution throughout the window view. The analysis of the results showed that the error rates produced in the luminance pattern estimations were reflected in the Radiosity model.
