Abstract

The distribution of renewable energy resources and Edge-IoT infrastructures have brought new challenges in intelligent smart microgrid management, such as dynamic-energy-demand changes, carbon-heavy energy-scheduling, communication overhead, and battery degradation. The deployment of renewable energy resources, distributed battery storage systems, and Edge-IoT infrastructures has created a number of challenges in the management of smart microgrids, such as dynamic changes in energy demand, carbon-heavy energy-scheduling, communication overhead, and battery degradation. To tackle these challenges, this paper introduces a personalized Federated Deep Reinforcement Learning (GridMind-FDRL) framework for carbon-aware and battery-safe decentralized smart microgrid optimization. The proposed framework combines federated learning, deep reinforcement learning, edge intelligence, carbon-aware energy scheduling and battery-aware adaptive optimization with a centralized framework for energy management. Unlike traditional centralized optimization methods, GridMind-FDRL allows for collaborative learning among distributed microgrid nodes while maintaining privacy and enabling low latency real-time optimization in dynamic Edge-IoT environments. The framework was tested with different operating conditions of intermittent renewables, varying load levels, and battery stress conditions. The results of the experiment showed that the energy efficiency could be 93.86%, carbon reduction 24.36%, battery health preservation 90.42%, communication efficiency 88.08%, and decision latency reduction 34.21%. The acquired results support the scalability, sustainability, and smart energy optimization ability of the suggested framework for the next-generation decentralized smart energy ecosystems.

A Federated Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for Real-Time Demand Response Optimization in IIoT-based Smart Home Automation

The residential market has seen the rapid take-up of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, connected IIoT smart systems due to it. This situation gives rise to new issues and challenges for the energy management implemented in real time. The traditional centralized energy management mechanisms face great challenges like excessive latency, confidentiality vulnerability, scalability issues across heterogeneous smart home networks. The paper proposes a Federated Deep Reinforcement Learning (D-RLR) framework based on DQN agents and federated learning method. The framework allows for the decentralized training of DQN models in smart home nodes with the restriction that raw energy consumption data remain local. Each agent carries out the processing of grid price signal, usage data of appliances, observed amount and availability of local renewable energy to develop optimal load scheduling policy. The overall demand response policy is obtained by periodic federated aggregation of local models, helping to reduce communication latency. Experiments conducted on a simulated IIoT smart home environment, constructed using appliance consumption profiles derived from publicly available residential energy datasets and realistic solar irradiance-based renewable generation profiles, demonstrate that the proposed framework reduces peak energy consumption by 23% and improves demand response efficiency by 18% relative to centralized DRL baselines. Communication overhead generates roughly 65% lesser and user privacy is preserved throughout by design. The mechanism scales across nodes and supports real-time scheduling decisions under dynamically changing grid conditions. Therefore, it can be deployed practically for next-generation residential energy management.
