The Power Flow Convergence (PFC) adjustment is an essential issue in the study of power system Operation State Calculation (OSC). Currently, as the grid structure expands markedly, the PFC adjustment is realized by adjusting the regional active and reactive power manually in most dispatching centres, which is tedious and personnel-experience oriented. Therefore, it is crucial to automate the PFC adjustment for efficiency and quality improvement. In this paper, an improved deep reinforcement learning (IDRL) based method and an action-executing strategy are proposed for the automation of the PFC adjustment. The optimal configuration scheme of the adjustable generators is derived from the trained online Q network for multi-load levels. Finally, the testing results on the IEEE-118 bus system demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain the convergent power flow state according to the given load level effectively.
