- Abstract
- This paper proposes a method of generating reward according to the ESS(Energy Storage System) charge/discharge action that is most important in developing a reinforcement learning algorithm to reduce the peak load on a building. The peak load of power used by a building can occur at various times depending on the characteristics of the individual building, such as office or residential use. In order to reduce the peak load of a building through ESS optimal control, a reinforcement learning model should be trained to optimally control the ESS using the power consumption data monitored by the building. In this paper, the reinforcement learning policy was designed so that the sum of the reward values by successive ESS actions for each control time unit (at) for 24 hours in 1 day would be the maximum as the peak load was reduced, and the performance was verified by simulation. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that the reinforcement learning algorithm for ESS control using the reward generation method proposed in this paper can well track and reduce the peak load point that occurs at various times according to the characteristics of the power consumption pattern of individual buildings.
