The field of power systems and graph-based methods is witnessing significant developments, driven by the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and reinforcement learning techniques. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to optimize power grid control, demand response, and fault diagnosis, leveraging graph neural networks, distributed reinforcement learning, and other advanced methods. Notably, the use of graph-based models and reinforcement learning is enabling more efficient and resilient power systems, as well as improved solutions for complex problems like crew dispatch and vehicle routing. Furthermore, the application of these techniques to real-world problems, such as post-disaster road assessment and power grid restoration, is demonstrating substantial potential for practical impact. Noteworthy papers include: The paper 'Power Grid Control with Graph-Based Distributed Reinforcement Learning' which proposes a novel framework for real-time grid management using graph neural networks and distributed reinforcement learning. The paper 'Deep Reinforcement Learning for Real-Time Drone Routing in Post-Disaster Road Assessment Without Domain Knowledge' which presents an attention-based encoder-decoder model for real-time drone routing decision in post-disaster road damage assessment.
