Real-Time Multi-Home Energy Management with EV Charging Scheduling Using Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning Optimization
March 17, 2023
Energy management for multi-home installation of solar PhotoVoltaics (solar PVs) combined with Electric Vehicles’ (EVs) charging scheduling has a rich complexity due to the uncertainties of solar PV generation and EV usage. Changing clients from multi-consumers to multi-prosumers with real-time energy trading supervised by the aggregator is an efficient way to solve undesired demand problems due to disorderly EV scheduling. Therefore, this paper proposes real-time multi-home energy management with EV charging scheduling using multi-agent deep reinforcement learning optimization. The aggregator and prosumers are developed as smart agents to interact with each other to find the best decision. This paper aims to reduce the electricity expense of prosumers through EV battery scheduling. The aggregator calculates the revenue from energy trading with multi-prosumers by using a real-time pricing concept which can facilitate the proper behavior of prosumers. Simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce mean power consumption by 9.04% and 39.57% compared with consumption using the system without EV usage and the system that applies the conventional energy price, respectively. Also, it can decrease the costs of the prosumer by between 1.67% and 24.57%, and the aggregator can generate revenue by 0.065 USD per day, which is higher than that generated when employing conventional energy prices.
