Welcome to DSS-SimPy-RL’s documentation!

This project develops a communication discrete-event simulation environment for reinforcement learning using SimPy. Further the environment is extended for cyber physical simulation with integration of the OpenDSS environment, that provides a playground for cyber resilient distribution grid control. This co-simulation RL environment is light-weight and can assist in performing faster simulations and generating large-scale datasets. In the current work two Markov Decision Process (MDP) models are developed for re-routing and network reconfiguration based restoration in the communication and feeder network respectively.

This cyber-physical RL environment is further utilized to learn an Adaptive Resilience Metric using the concept of Inverse Reinforcement Learning.
