Abstract

Traditional optimal scheduling methods are limited to accurate physical models and parameter settings, which are difficult to adapt to the uncertainty of source and load, and there are problems such as the inability to make dynamic decisions continuously. This paper proposed a dynamic economic scheduling method for distribution networks based on deep reinforcement learning. Firstly, the economic scheduling model of the new energy distribution network is established considering the action characteristics of micro-gas turbines, and the dynamic scheduling model based on deep reinforcement learning is constructed for the new energy distribution network system with a high proportion of new energy, and the Markov decision process of the model is defined. Secondly, Second, for the changing characteristics of source-load uncertainty, agents are trained interactively with the distributed network in a data-driven manner. Then, through the proximal policy optimization algorithm, agents adaptively learn the scheduling strategy and realize the dynamic scheduling decision of the new energy distribution network system. Finally, the feasibility and superiority of the proposed method are verified by an improved IEEE 33-node simulation system.
