Optimal energy system scheduling using a constraint-aware reinforcement learning algorithm

The massive integration of renewable-based distributed energy resources (DERs) inherently increases the energy system’s complexity, especially when it comes to defining its operational schedule. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms arise as a promising solution due to their data-driven and model-free features. However, current DRL...

Performance Comparison of Deep RL Algorithms for Energy Systems Optimal Scheduling

Taking advantage of their data-driven and model-free features, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms have the potential to deal with the increasing level of uncertainty due to the introduction of renewable-based generation. To deal simultaneously with the energy systems’ operational cost and technical constraints (e.g, generation-demand...
