The integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) into the power grid presents significant challenges due to the intermittent and unpredictable nature of these sources. This paper explores the application of reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize the operation and management of renewable energy grids. We review the current state of renewable energy integration, highlight the limitations of traditional methods, and present a novel RL-based framework for grid optimization. The proposed framework is designed to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of renewable energy systems. We also discuss the implementation of the framework, including the design of the RL algorithm, the selection of state and action spaces, and the reward function. Finally, we present a case study and experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach
