Microgrid is an effective way to improve the utilization rate of renewable energy and is an indispensable part of recent power networks. In microgrids, the deployment of energy management systems (EMS) ensures stable operation and maximizes energy efficiency. Due to the uncertainty of non-steerable generation and non-flexible consumption in the microgrid, it is challenging to design an energy management algorithm to schedule the steerable generators and storage. To address this problem, energy management system is modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) with continuous action space in this paper. Then an off-line reinforcement learning algorithm is leveraged to help EMS make scheduling decisions. Compared with other EMS schemes based on deep reinforcement learning, our method can effectively utilize the optimal decision data generated by mathematical programming, i.e., expert knowledge, to improve learning efficiency and decision-making ability. Simulation based on real world data verifies that the proposed algorithm has better performance than other reinforcement learning algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
