In this paper, a new algorithm based on case base reasoning and reinforcement learning (RL) is proposed to increase the convergence rate of the reinforcement learning algorithms. RL algorithms are very useful for solving wide variety decision problems when their models are not available and they must make decision correctly in every state of system, such as multi agent systems, artificial control systems, robotic, tool condition monitoring and etc. In the propose method, we investigate how making improved action selection in reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm. In the proposed method, the new combined model using case base reasoning systems and a new optimized function is proposed to select the action, which led to an increase in algorithms based on Q-learning. The algorithm mentioned was used for solving the problem of cooperative Markov’s games as one of the models of Markov based multi-agent systems. The results of experiments Indicated that the proposed algorithms perform better than the existing algorithms in terms of speed and accuracy of reaching the optimal policy.

In this paper, two solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems are considered; one in the department with capacity of 100 kW and the other in the hostel with capacity of 200 kW. Each one has battery and load. The capital cost and energy savings by conventional methods are compared and it is proved that the energy dependency from grid is reduced in solar micro-grid element, operating in distributed environment. In the smart grid frame work, the grid energy consumption is further reduced by optimal scheduling of the battery, using Reinforcement Learning. Individual unit optimization is done by a model free reinforcement learning method, called Q-Learning and it is compared with distributed operations of solar micro-grid using a Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning method, called Joint Q-Learning. The energy planning is designed according to the prediction of solar PV energy production and observed load pattern of department and the hostel. A simulation model was developed using Python programming.

Multi-Agent system has broad application in real world, whose security performance, however, is barely considered. Reinforcement learning is one of the most important methods to resolve Multi-Agent problems. At present, certain progress has been made in applying Multi-Agent reinforcement learning to robot system, man-machine match, and automatic, etc. However, in the above area, an agent may fall into unsafe states where the agent may find it difficult to bypass obstacles, to receive information from other agents and so on. Ensuring the safety of Multi-Agent system is of great importance in the above areas where an agent may fall into dangerous states that are irreversible, causing great damage. To solve the safety problem, in this paper we introduce a Multi-Agent Cooperation Q-Learning Algorithm based on Constrained Markov Game. In this method, safety constraints are added to the set of actions, and each agent, when interacting with the environment to search for optimal values, should be restricted by the safety rules, so as to obtain an optimal policy that satisfies the security requirements. Since traditional Multi-Agent reinforcement learning algorithm is no more suitable for the proposed model in this paper, a new solution is introduced for calculating the global optimum state-action function that satisfies the safety constraints. We take advantage of the Lagrange multiplier method to determine the optimal action that can be performed in the current state based on the premise of linearizing constraint functions, under conditions that the state-action function and the constraint function are both differentiable, which not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm, but also guarantees to obtain the global optimal solution. The experiments verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

This paper presents a hybrid control proposal for multi-agent systems, where the advantages of the reinforcement learning and nonparametric functions are exploited. A modified version of the Q-learning algorithm is used which will provide data training for a Kernel, this approach will provide a sub optimal set of actions to be used by the agents. The proposed algorithm is experimentally tested in a path generation task in an unknown environment for mobile robots.

This article presents a design of a wideband autonomous cognitive radio (WACR) for anti-jamming and interference-avoidance. The proposed system model allows multiple WACRs to simultaneously operate over the same spectrum range producing a multi-agent environment. The objective of each radio is to predict and evade a dynamic jammer signal as well as avoiding transmissions of other WACRs. The proposed cognitive framework is made of two operations: sensing and transmission. Each operation is helped by its own learning algorithm based on Q-learning, but both will be experiencing the same RF environment. The simulation results indicate that the proposed cognitive anti-jamming technique has low computational complexity and significantly outperforms non-cognitive sub-band selection policy while being sufficiently robust against the impact of sensing errors.

Switching control of micro-grid operation modes belongs to short time scale control level, this paper proposes three-tier structure of micro-grid energy management system suitable for switching control of micro-grid operation modes on the basis of the analysis of micro-grid operation mode switching requirements for the control system, and builds micro-grid central control system based on multi-agent technology aiming at the coordinated control of micro-grid operation mode switching, which will effectively enhance the implementation effect of switching control strategy, and play important role in achieving the seamless switching control of micro-grid operation modes.
