Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) holds significant promise for managing voltage control challenges in simulated power grid environments. However, its real-world application in power system operations remains underexplored. This study rigorously evaluates DRL's performance and limitations within actual operational contexts by utilizing detailed experiments across the IEEE 14-bus system, Illinois 200-bus system, and the ISO New England node-breaker model. Our analysis critically assesses DRL's effectiveness for grid control from a system operator's perspective, identifying specific performance bottlenecks. The findings provide actionable insights that highlight the necessity of advancing AI technologies to effectively address the growing complexities of modern power systems. This research underscores the vital role of DRL in enhancing grid management and reliability.
