This work addresses the challenge of optimal energy management in microgrids through a collaborative and privacy-preserving framework. We propose the FedTRPO methodology, which integrates Federated Learning (FL) and Trust Region Policy Optimization (TRPO) to manage distributed energy resources (DERs) efficiently. Using a customized version of the CityLearn environment and synthetically generated data, we simulate designed net-zero energy scenarios for microgrids composed of multiple buildings. Our approach emphasizes reducing energy costs and carbon emissions while ensuring privacy. Experimental results demonstrate that FedTRPO is comparable with state-of-the-art federated RL methodologies without hyperparameter tunning. The proposed framework highlights the feasibility of collaborative learning for achieving optimal control policies in energy systems, advancing the goals of sustainable and efficient smart grids.
