It features a novel reward function inversely related to the control error and employs a state vector comprising absolute and integral errors to enhance error reduction. The controller, tested on a dual-region system with solar power, utilises phasor measurement unit (PMU) data for global inputs. Its performance is validated through time-domain simulations, pole-zero mapping, modal analysis, frequency response, and participation factor mapping, using a custom MATLAB and Simulink toolkit. The design accounts for communication delays and adapts to variable conditions, which proves to be effective in reducing oscillations and improving system stability.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Elektronika ir Elektrotechnika}, author={Ngoc-Hung, Truong}, year={2024}, month={Jun.}, pages={32-45} }
