Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Approaches for the MPPT Control of Standalone Solar PV Systems by Nwachukwu, Sampson

“…In this study, a solar PV array's MPPT control problem under PSCs is investigated and addressed by applying three model-free and off-policy deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms such as Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), Soft Actor-Critic (SAC), and Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm. They are utilized mainly due to their robustness and ability to handle continuous state spaces, unlike the traditional RL method, which operates with discrete action and state domains. …”
