Q learning is widely used to simulate the behaviors of generation companies (GenCos) in an electricity market. However, existing Q learning method usually requires numerous iterations to converge, which is time-consuming and inefficient in practice. To enhance the calculation efficiency, a novel Q learning algorithm improved by dichotomy is proposed in this paper. This method modifies the update process of the Q table by dichotomizing the state space and the action space step by step. Simulation results in a repeated Cournot game show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Microgrid (MG) energy management is an important part of MG operation. Various entities are generally involved in the energy management of an MG, e.g., energy storage system (ESS), renewable energy resources (RER) and the load of users, and it is crucial to coordinate these entities. Considering the significant potential of machine learning techniques, this paper proposes a correlated deep Q-learning (CDQN) based technique for the MG energy management. Each electrical entity is modeled as an agent which has a neural network to predict its own Q-values, after which the correlated Q-equilibrium is used to coordinate the operation among agents. In this paper, the Long Short Term Memory networks (LSTM) based deep Q-learning algorithm is introduced and the correlated equilibrium is proposed to coordinate agents. The simulation result shows 40.9% and 9.62% higher profit for ESS agent and photovoltaic (PV) agent, respectively.
With the increasing complexity of modern power systems, conventional dynamic load modeling with ZIP and induction motors (ZIP + IM) is no longer adequate to address the current load characteristic transitions. In recent years, the WECC composite load model (WECC CLM) has shown to effectively capture the dynamic load responses over traditional load models in various stability studies and contingency analyses. However, a detailed WECC CLM model typically has a high degree of complexity, with over one hundred parameters, and no systematic approach to identifying and calibrating these parameters. Enabled by the wide deployment of PMUs and advanced deep learning algorithms, proposed here is a double deep Q-learning network (DDQN)-based, two-stage load modeling framework for the WECC CLM. This two-stage method decomposes the complicated WECC CLM for more efficient identification and does not require explicit model details. In the first stage, the DDQN agent determines an accurate load composition. In the second stage, the parameters of the WECC CLM are selected from a group of Monte-Carlo simulations. The set of selected load parameters is expected to best approximate the true transient responses. The proposed framework is verified using an IEEE 39-bus test system on commercial simulation platforms.
The random nature of traffic conditions on freeways can cause excessive congestions and irregularities in the traffic flow. Ramp metering is a proven effective method to maintain freeway efficiency under various traffic conditions. Creating a reliable and practical ramp metering algorithm that considers both critical traffic measures and historical data is still a challenging problem. In this study we use machine learning approaches to develop a novel real-time prediction model for ramp metering. We evaluate the potentials of our approach in providing promising results by comparing it with a baseline traffic-responsive ramp metering algorithm.
As a model-free optimization and decision-making method, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has been widely applied to the filed of energy management in energy Internet. While, some DRL-based energy management schemes also incorporate the prediction module used by the traditional model-based methods, which seems to be unnecessary and even adverse. In this work, we present the standard DRL-based energy management scheme with and without prediction. Then, these two schemes are compared in the unified energy management framework. The simulation results demonstrate that the energy management scheme without prediction is superior over the scheme with prediction. This work intends to rectify the misuse of DRL methods in the field of energy management.
Mathematical modeling of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) is a central challenge in advanced battery management. This paper presents a new approach to integrate a physics-based model with machine learning to achieve high-precision modeling for LiBs. This approach uniquely proposes to inform the machine learning model of the dynamic state of the physical model, enabling a deep integration between physics and machine learning. We propose two hybrid physics-machine learning models based on the approach, which blend a single particle model with thermal dynamics (SPMT) with a feedforward neural network (FNN) to perform physics-informed learning of a LiBs dynamic behavior. The proposed models are relatively parsimonious in structure and can provide considerable predictive accuracy even at high C-rates, as shown by extensive simulations.
