It provides communication services to each connected component and resource through multi-agent system. This paper proposes a reinforcement learning based methodology, Q-reinforcement Learning based Multi-agent based Bellmanford Routing (QRL-MABR), using multiple agents communicating over the microgrid network. It strengthens the decision-making core of the microgrid by improving Quality of service and network reliability of the smart microgrid. The performance analysis of the algorithm is tested over small-scale IEEE microgrid models i.e. IEEE 9 and IEEE 14. The work is tested and compared with four routing oriented decision-making algorithms, Open shortest path first (OSPF), Optimized link state routing (OLSR), Routing information protocol (RIP) and Multi-agent based Bellmanford routing (MABR). The results validate the productivity and learning capabilities of the proposed QRL-MABR algorithm. © 2021 IEEE. date: 2021 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85124122304&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS49414.2021.9642596&partnerID=40&md5=9e9acf69b67deadb43bd568a208b166b id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS49414.2021.9642596 full_text_status: none publication: International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems: Enhance the Present for a Sustainable Future, ICIAS 2021 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781728176666 citation: Singh, N. and Elamvazuthi, I. and Nallagownden, P. and Badruddin, N. and Ousta, F. and Jangra, A.
