• Abstract: Load frequency control (LFC) is widely employed in power systems to stabilize frequency fluctuation and guarantee power quality. However, most existing LFC methods rely on accurate power system modeling and usually ignore the nonlinear characteristics of the system, limiting controllers' performance. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a model-free LFC method for nonlinear power systems based on deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) framework. The proposed method establishes an emulator network to emulate power system dynamics. After defining the action-value function, the emulator network is applied for control actions evaluation instead of the critic network. Then the actor network controller is effectively optimized by estimating the policy gradient based on zeroth-order optimization (ZOO) and backpropagation algorithm. Simulation results and corresponding comparisons demonstrate the designed controller can generate appropriate control actions and has strong adaptability for nonlinear power systems.

  Neural Networks (NNs) can be leveraged to parametrize control policies that yield good performance. NNs' sensitivity to small input changes poses a risk of destabilizing the closed-loop system. To address these problems, we leverage the framework of port-Hamiltonian systems to design continuous-time distributed control policies. The effectiveness of the proposed distributed controllers is demonstrated through consensus control of non-holonomic mobile robots.

• Nonlinear Control Allocation: A Learning Based Approach [0.0]
  Modern aircraft are designed with redundant control effectors to cater for fault tolerance and maneuverability requirements. This leads to aircraft being over-actuated and requires control allocation schemes to distribute the control commands among control effectors. Traditionally, optimization-based control allocation schemes are used; however, for nonlinear allocation problems, these methods require large computational resources. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) based nonlinear control allocation scheme is proposed.
