Direct training of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) is a challenging task because of their inherent temporality. Added to it, the vanilla Back-propagation based methods are not applicable either, due to the non-differentiability of the spikes in SNNs. Surrogate-Derivative based methods with Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT) address these direct training challenges quite well;however, such methods are not neuromorphic-hardware friendly for the On-chip training of SNNs. Recently formalized Three-Factor based Rules (TFR) for direct local-training of SNNs are neuromorphic-hardware friendly;however, they do not effectively leverage the depth of the SNN architectures (we show it empirically here), thus, are limited. In this work, we present an improved version of a conventional three-factor rule, for local learning in SNNs which effectively leverages depth - in the context of learning features hierarchically. Taking inspiration from the Back-propagation algorithm, we theoretically derive our improved, local, three-factor based learning method, named DALTON (Deep LocAl Learning via local WeighTs and SurrOgate-Derivative TraNsfer), which employs weights and surrogate-derivative transfer from the local layers. Along the lines of TFR, our proposed method DALTON is also amenable to the neuromorphic-hardware implementation. Through extensive experiments on static (MNIST, FMNIST, & CIFAR10) and event-based (N-MNIST, DVS128-Gesture, & DVSCIFAR10) datasets, we show that our proposed local-learning method DALTON makes effective use of the depth in Convolutional SNNs, compared to the vanilla TFR implementation.

The power grid is undergoing a transformation from synchronous generators(SGs) toward inverter-based resources(IBRs). The stochasticity, asynchronicity, and limited-inertia characteristics of IBRs bring about challenges to grid resilience. Virtual power plants(VPPs) are emerging technologies to improve the grid resilience and advance the transformation. By judiciously aggregating geographically distributed energy resources(DERs) as individual electrical entities, VPPs can provide capacity and ancillary services to grid operations and participate in electricity wholesale markets. This paper aims to provide a concise overview of the concept and development of VPPs and the latest progresses in VPP operation, with the focus on VPP scheduling and control. Based on this overview, we identify a few potential challenges in VPP operation and discuss the opportunities of integrating the multi-agent system(MAS)-based strategy into the VPP operation to enhance its scalability, performance and resilience.

Building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning(HVAC) systems have one of the largest energy footprint worldwide, which necessitates the design of intelligent control algorithms that improve the energy utilization while still providing thermal comfort. In this work, the authors formulate the HVAC equipment dynamics in the setting of a two-player non-zero-sum cooperative game, which enables two decision variables(mass flow rate and supply air temperature) to perform joint optimization of the control utilization and thermal setpoint tracking by simultaneously exchanging their policies. The HVAC zone serves as a game environment for these two decision variables that act as two players in a game. It is assumed that dynamic models of HVAC equipment are not available. Furthermore, neither the state nor any estimates of HVAC disturbance(heat gains, outside variations, etc.) are accessible,but only the measurement of the zone temperature is available for feedback. Under these constraints,the authors develop a new data-driven Q-learning scheme employing policy iteration and value iteration with a bias compensation mechanism that accounts for unmeasurable disturbances and circumvents the need of full-state measurement. The proposed algorithms are shown to converge to the optimal solution corresponding to the generalized algebraic Riccati equations(GAREs) in dynamic games.
