Modern machine learning approaches typically identify the impedance of a single inverter-based resource (IBR) and assume similar impedance characteristics across devices. In modern power systems, however, IBRs will employ diverse control topologies and algorithms, leading to highly heterogeneous impedance behaviors. Training one model per IBR is inefficient and does not scale. This paper proposes a scalable impedance identification framework for diverse IBRs via cluster-specialized neural networks. First, the dataset is partitioned into multiple clusters with similar feature profiles using the K-means clustering method. Then, each cluster is assigned a specialized feed-forward neural network (FNN) tailored to its characteristics, improving both accuracy and computational efficiency. In deployment, only a small number of measurements are required to predict impedance over a wide range of operating points. The framework is validated on six IBRs with varying control bandwidths, control structures, and operating conditions, and further tested on a previously unseen IBR using only ten measurement points. The results demonstrate high accuracy in both the clustering and prediction stages, confirming the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed method.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading is increasingly recognized as a key mechanism for decentralized market regulation, yet existing approaches often lack robust frameworks to ensure fairness. This paper presents FairMarket-RL, a novel hybrid framework that combines Large Language Models (LLMs) with Reinforcement Learning (RL) to enable fairness-aware trading agents. In a simulated P2P microgrid with multiple sellers and buyers, the LLM acts as a real-time fairness critic, evaluating each trading episode using two metrics: Fairness-To-Buyer (FTB) and Fairness-Between-Sellers (FBS). These fairness scores are integrated into agent rewards through scheduled λ-coefficients, forming an adaptive LLM-guided reward shaping loop that replaces brittle, rule-based fairness constraints. Agents are trained using Independent Proximal Policy Optimization (IPPO) and achieve equitable outcomes, fulfilling over 90% of buyer demand, maintaining fair seller margins, and consistently reaching FTB and FBS scores above 0.80. The training process demonstrates that fairness feedback improves convergence, reduces buyer shortfalls, and narrows profit disparities between sellers. With its language-based critic, the framework scales naturally, and its extension to a large power distribution system with household prosumers illustrates its practical applicability. FairMarket-RL thus offers a scalable, equity-driven solution for autonomous trading in decentralized energy systems.
