A PI+R Control Scheme Based on Multi-agent Systems for Economic Dispatch in Isolated BESSs

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are widely used in smart grids. However, power consumed by inner impedance and the capacity degradation of each battery unit become particularly severe, which has resulted in an increase in operating costs. The general economic dispatch (ED) algorithm based on marginal cost (MC) consensus is usually a proportional (P) controller, which encounters the defects of slow convergence speed and low control accuracy. In order to solve the distributed ED problem of the isolated BESS network with excellent dynamic and steady-state performance, we attempt to design a proportional integral (PI) controller with a reset mechanism (PI+R) to asymptotically promote MC consensus and total power mismatch towards 0 in this paper. To be frank, the integral term in the PI controller is reset to 0 at an appropriate time when the proportional term undergoes a zero crossing, which accelerates convergence, improves control accuracy, and avoids overshoot. The eigenvalues of the system under a PI+R controller is well analyzed, ensuring the regularity of the system and enabling the reset mechanism. To ensure supply and demand balance within the isolated BESSs, a centralized reset mechanism is introduced, so that the controller is distributed in a flow set and centralized in a jump set. To cope with Zeno behavior and input delay, a dwell time that the system resides in a flow set is given. Based on this, the system with input delays can be reduced to a time-delay free system. Considering the capacity limitation of the battery, a modified MC scheme with PI+R controller is designed. The correctness of the designed scheme is verified through relevant simulations.

A Distributed PI+Reset Scheme for Discrete-Time Economic Dispatch of A Grid-connected BESS Network

This article investigates the discrete-time economic dispatch (ED) problem of a battery energy storage system (BESS) network with an energy router (ER). The continuous increase in operational cost of a BESS network is caused by the internal power consumption and capacity degradation of each battery. In addition, the transaction amount of purchasing or selling electricity from the utility grid (UG) also becomes one of the sources that constitute this cost. Therefore, in order to address this ED problem and reduce costs, we design a distributed solution based on discrete-time multi-agent systems (MAS) with a novel proportional integral (PI) controller. In this scheme, a marginal cost (MC) consensus controller is designed to drive the inverter. In addition, a consensus controller is designed to estimate the average power mismatch, resulting in a routing algorithm based on this. Compared with existing distributed schemes with proportional (P) controllers, using a PI controller with a reset mechanism ensures that the integral term accumulates from 0 when the proportional term changes sign. Driven by this method, the convergence speed of the scheme is accelerated, while the control accuracy is also improved without causing significant overshoot. Provided the enabling conditions for the reset mechanism and analyzed the algorithm performance under SoC level constraints. The related simulation cases verify the effectiveness and progressiveness of the designed algorithm.

A Distributed Cluster Economic Dispatch Scheme for Cross-regional Microgrids Induced by Well-designed Communication Weights

A large-scale microgrid typically consists of several cross-regional subgrids aggregated by a virtual power plant (VPP). However, current consensus based schemes can-not guarantee the feature of differential demand between subgrids. Thus, distributed cluster consensus control induced by communication weights is investigated in this paper to solve the ED problem of a large-scale microgrid, which can achieve the expected cluster via well-designed communication weights. A communication weight matrix design method for a directed and connected graph based on eigenvector centrality is designed, which enables the adjacency matrix of the communication network to have a given leading eigenvector and allows agents in each cluster to have the same eigenvector center value. Based on this, a distributed cluster ED scheme, namely a leader-follower cluster consensus controller, is designed to drive marginal cost (MC) to achieve multiconsensus, thus allocating power among DGs. In addition, the power deficit of each subgrid collected by a VPP can be allocated to utility grids according to predetermined ratios, thus maintaining power supply-demand balance of each subgrid. For this scheme, it should be emphasized that the weighted network used is directed and connected; meanwhile, leader information only can be accessed by a few clusters. Correspondingly, relevant simulations are attached to verify the effectiveness of the designed scheme.

Distributed Cooperative Control of BESSs in AC and DC Hybrid Microgrid and Its Energy Internet Paradigm

An AC and DC hybrid microgrid, which inherits advantages of AC and DC microgrids and discards some disadvantages, is considered to be the most promising power network structure and gradually applied in the community. Usually, the AC subgrid and the DC subgrid are interconnected by Bidirectional Interlink Power Converters (BILPCs). Besides, in view of the different droop characteristics of AC subgrid and the DC subgrid, it is necessary to design a suitable distributed secondary controller for an AC and DC hybrid microgrid. Accordingly, this paper proposes a flexible and scalable distributed control framework for an AC and DC hybrid battery energy storage system (ADHB) with BILPCs in an Energy Internet (EI) paradigm. An ADHB governed by multi agent systems via a cloud server can reach the State-of-Charge balance, proportional power sharing, frequency and voltage restoration. The proposed control framework provides the group play-and-plug by adding or removing an inter-MASs interaction link. For a single BILPC in an ADHB, active/reactive power, frequency and voltage are adjusted by an AC BESS. For the parallel BILPCs in EI, a decentralized secondary control scheme is proposed. Communication delay issues and stability are analysed. Then, the relevant simulation results verify the correctness of the proposed scheme.

Every Attention Matters: An Efficient Hybrid Architecture for Long-Context Reasoning

In this technical report, we present the Ring-linear model series, specifically including Ring-mini-linear-2.0 and Ring-flash-linear-2.0. Ring-mini-linear-2.0 comprises 16B parameters and 957M activations, while Ring-flash-linear-2.0 contains 104B parameters and 6.1B activations. Both models adopt a hybrid architecture that effectively integrates linear attention and softmax attention, significantly reducing I/O and computational overhead in long-context inference scenarios. Compared to a 32 billion parameter dense model, this series reduces inference cost to 1/10, and compared to the original Ring series, the cost is also reduced by over 50%. Furthermore, through systematic exploration of the ratio between different attention mechanisms in the hybrid architecture, we have identified the currently optimal model structure. Additionally, by leveraging our self-developed high-performance FP8 operator library-linghe, overall training efficiency has been improved by 50%. Benefiting from the high alignment between the training and inference engine operators, the models can undergo long-term, stable, and highly efficient optimization during the reinforcement learning phase, consistently maintaining SOTA performance across multiple challenging complex reasoning benchmarks.

Every Step Evolves: Scaling Reinforcement Learning for Trillion-Scale Thinking Model

We present Ring-1T, the first open-source, state-of-the-art thinking model with a trillion-scale parameter. It features 1 trillion total parameters and activates approximately 50 billion per token. Training such models at a trillion-parameter scale introduces unprecedented challenges, including train-inference misalignment, inefficiencies in rollout processing, and bottlenecks in the RL system. To address these, we pioneer three interconnected innovations: (1) IcePop stabilizes RL training via token-level discrepancy masking and clipping, resolving instability from training-inference mismatches; (2) C3PO++ improves resource utilization for long rollouts under a token budget by dynamically partitioning them, thereby obtaining high time efficiency; and (3) ASystem, a high-performance RL framework designed to overcome the systemic bottlenecks that impede trillion-parameter model training. Ring-1T delivers breakthrough results across critical benchmarks: 93.4 on AIME-2025, 86.72 on HMMT-2025, 2088 on CodeForces, and 55.94 on ARC-AGI-1. Notably, it attains a silver medal-level result on the IMO-2025, underscoring its exceptional reasoning capabilities. By releasing the complete 1T parameter MoE model to the community, we provide the research community with direct access to cutting-edge reasoning capabilities. This contribution marks a significant milestone in democratizing large-scale reasoning intelligence and establishes a new baseline for open-source model performance.

Holistic Capability Preservation: Towards Compact Yet Comprehensive Reasoning Models

This technical report presents Ring-Lite-Distill, a lightweight reasoning model derived from our open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Large Language Models (LLMs) Ling-Lite. This study demonstrates that through meticulous high-quality data curation and ingenious training paradigms, the compact MoE model Ling-Lite can be further trained to achieve exceptional reasoning capabilities, while maintaining its parameter-efficient architecture with only 2.75 billion activated parameters, establishing an efficient lightweight reasoning architecture. In particular, in constructing this model, we have not merely focused on enhancing advanced reasoning capabilities, exemplified by high-difficulty mathematical problem solving, but rather aimed to develop a reasoning model with more comprehensive competency coverage. Our approach ensures coverage across reasoning tasks of varying difficulty levels while preserving generic capabilities, such as instruction following, tool use, and knowledge retention. We show that, Ring-Lite-Distill's reasoning ability reaches a level comparable to DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B, while its general capabilities significantly surpass those of DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B.
