We are excited to announce that the Safe RL for Smart Grids Workshop is now accepting submissions (Submission link). With the notion of safety in mind, we encourage submissions on topics including but not limited to:

• Safe exploration in electrical power systems

• Definitions and metrics for safety in smart grid control

• Safe RL in renewable energy integration and demand response

• Integrating safety constraints into reinforcement learning policies for power systems

• Ensuring operational safety in non-stationary smart grid conditions

• Off-policy and offline RL for safety in smart grid operations

• Risk assessment and robust decision-making frameworks for grid stability and security

• 
  

• Case studies on the application of safe RL in smart grid operations and control

• Ethical considerations and social impact of implementing RL in power systems

We invite submissions of papers of up to 6 pages, including references that discuss early-stage or mature work related to the topics above. Accepted papers will be presented as spotlight talks within thematic sessions at the workshop. Here are the detailed guidelines for the paper formatting and submission:

1.  Authors should follow the same template used in the SmartGridComm 2024 conference papers.

2. The submissions are limited to 6 pages (including references). 

Overall, we suggest to follow the author instructions given on the SmartGridComm 2024 website (https://sgc2024.ieee-smartgridcomm.org/authors/call-papers).
