Stackelberg mean field game-based decentralized collective control for large-scale population of HVACs under grid balancing
摘要
This article presents a Stackelberg mean-field game (MFG)-based approach for the decentralized collective control of a large-scale population of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, aiming to achieve grid balancing. We first give the thermodynamic model of HVAC systems in detail and build a Stackelberg MFG framework. On this basis, we derive a decentralized control strategy at the number of participants N → ∞ and achieve the (ε1, ε2)-Stackelberg equilibrium. Finally, this paper validates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategies through simulations under various weight coefficients and initial conditions.
