Optimal energy management for a grid-tied solar PV-battery microgrid: A reinforcement learning approach by Muriithi, Grace

“…Secondly, a deep Q network (DQN) method that uses recent learning algorithm enhancements, including experience replay and target network, is developed to learn the system uncertainties, including load demand, grid prices and volatile power supply from the renewables solve the optimal energy management problem. Unlike the Q-learning method, which updates the Q-function using a lookup table (which limits its scalability and overall performance in stochastic optimization), the DQN method uses a deep neural network that approximates the Q- function via statistical regression. …”
