Initially, the study builds a supply chain model that incorporates supplier-customer relationships, guided by the principles of green computing to minimize environmental impact. The model applies Markov Decision Processes to develop a framework for sustainable supplier inventory control, focusing on reducing waste and optimizing resource usage. Utilizing the function approximation capabilities of Deep Q-Networks, the model not only achieves intelligent resource allocation but also prioritizes energy-efficient practices in inventory management. Experimental results indicate that the ISCO-DQ inventory control model converges to approximately −41,400 and −181,300 after around 100 and 300 cycles, respectively, under customer demand distributions that follow normal distributions. Furthermore, compared to traditional single-period stochastic and fixed-order quantity inventory control models, the total cost of the ISCO-DQ model is reduced by an average of 6.7 % and 16 %, respectively, while minimizing carbon emissions associated with overproduction and excess inventory. Additionally, the ISCO-DQ model significantly mitigates costs arising from demand uncertainty by quickly adapting to fluctuations and optimizing inventory strategies, thereby fostering a circular economy.

Additionally, considering the vulnerability of power lines to extreme weather events, we propose the Resilience Reserve Factor (RRF). It employs three resilience evaluation indexes to delineate the system's demand for inertia supply, efficiently targeting vulnerable areas for inertia reinforcement, thereby comprehensively enhancing the resilience of the power grid. Lastly, based on the critical inertia demand constraint criterion, we establish a two-stage pre-scheduling strategy incorporating both day-ahead planning and real-time correction while considering assessment accuracy. This approach transforms the inertia assessment problem into a resilience optimization problem, yielding the scheduling status of each generator unit and inertia replenishment results during extreme weather after iteration. The optimized strategy is validated through simulations on the improved IEEE39 buses system. Furthermore, this study employs a frequency response model to investigate the spatial distribution characteristics of inertia.
