摘要

As urban power grids grow in scale and complexity, rational deployment of sensor networks is critical to ensure operational security and stability. This study proposes a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework for sensor network deployment optimization, integrating cluster-based spatial priority scoring. A case study involving 352 transmission towers in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, is presented. The framework incorporates commercial mathematical programming (Gurobi), Genetic Algorithm, and DRL approaches to systematically compare performance under varying deployment budgets. Experimental results demonstrate that the DRL method achieves high coverage and redundancy with superior computational efficiency and adaptability, effectively addressing complex sensor placement challenges in urban environments. This study offers an efficient and scalable decision-support tool for smart grid maintenance with significant theoretical and practical implications.
