Problems and challenges

Frequency control [101]

IRL (Internal Reinforcement Learning)

Single Area System

Yes

Tackles unknown dynamical environments, and acute load deviations

Weak results may occur due to overloading

Frequency control [102]

Genetic algorithm

New England 10 generators (applied for 1st test), 39-bus system (2nd test)

Yes

(1) Simple design, (2) Flexibility of performance, (3) Reaches steady state faster, handles discontinuities, and noisy functions

(1) Mutation operator may cause legal issues, (2) Repair function has to be applied individually

Frequency control [103]

Neuro Hybrid Fuzzy Logic

Four area (Inter connected Hydro Thermal) power system

N/A

(1) Fastly controls the non-linearity, (2) Lessens FPD (frequency peak deviation), time imprecision, and tie-line power

Needs regular update for proper functioning

Frequency control [104]

RADP (Robust Approximate Dynamic programming)

Multi machine power System (New England 10-machine 39-bus system)

N/A

Recovers system’s frequency

System dynamics is unknown at the time of training datasets

Preventive [105]

MLP (Multi-layer perceptron)

(IEEE 6, IEEE 118), Real 33-bus Bodaibo subsystem

No

Prevents voltage instability and longer overload, and has smart preventive security

Independent variables are affected by dependent variables to an unknown extent

Restorative [106]

Q learning

IEEE 57-bus, IEEE 118-bus and IEEE 300-bus systems

Yes

(1) Avoids risk of new failures (cascading), (2) Restores with better power grid topology

(1) Works on one individual power grid at a time, (2) Takes high computational time when recovery sequence increases

General control [107]

Q-learning, WoLF-PHC WoLF (win or learn fast) PHC (policy hill climbing)

Secondary users (SUs)

No

Improves anti-jamming performance

Works better with only discrete and finite datasets

General control [108]

Wolf-Pack

Multi-agent systems

Yes

(1) Efficient coordinated control, (2) Virtual tribes control optimizes electricity generation as wind, solar, and electric vehicles increase

Time delay occurs while obtaining optimal strategy

General control [109]

Lazy Learning

Parallel cyber physical–social energy systems

No

(1) Highest control performance, (2) Reduced frequency deviation, (3) Predicts next state

Lacks optimization algorithm

Voltage control [110]

Teaching–learning, Sugeno fuzzy logic

AVR system

Yes

Delivers adequate robust performance and satisfactory dynamic responses over parametric fluctuations of system

Cannot overcome OPD (optimal power dispatch) problems

Voltage control [111]

DQN/DDPG

200-bus test system

No

Automatically and efficiently control voltage according to situation

Lacks multiple control operation
