An integrated scheduling and optimization approach for photovoltaic-storage systems using deep reinforcement learning
摘要
This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning-based framework for optimizing photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system scheduling. By modeling the control task as a Markov Decision Process and employing the Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) algorithm, the system learns adaptive charge/discharge policies under uncertain solar generation and dynamic load conditions. Experiments conducted on three datasets demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms rule-based and model predictive control baselines in cost reduction, peak load minimization, and operational safety. The results confirm SAC’s robustness, generalization capability, and suitability for real-world smart grid energy management.
