Using "optimization" technique

Warning

This page is in progress. We welcome any contribution :-)

See some examples in:

• "l2rpn-baselines", for example the OptimCVXPY agent
• Jan Hendrick Menke PP_Baseline an optimizer based on pandapower OPF available here PandapowerOPFAgent
• An optimizer developed by RTE able to change the topology MILP Agent

Basically an "optimizer" agent looks like (from a very high level):

1. have a simplification of the "MDP" / decision process in the shape of an optimziation problem
2. make a formulation of this problem using a "framework" preferably in python (eg using pandapower, cvxpy or or-tools)
3. update the "formulation" using the observation received
4. run a solver to solve the "problem"
5. convert back the "decisions" (output) of the solver into a "grid2op" action
