Optimizing a domestic battery and solar photovoltaic system with deep reinforcement learning

Alexander J. M. Kell, A. Stephen McGough, Matthew Forshaw

A lowering in the cost of batteries and solar PV systems has led to a high uptake of solar battery home systems. In this work, we use the deep deterministic policy gradient algorit…

The impact of online machine-learning methods on long-term investment decisions and generator utilization in electricity markets

Alexander J. M. Kell, A. Stephen McGough, Matthew Forshaw

Electricity supply must be matched with demand at all times. This helps reduce the chances of issues such as load frequency control and the chances of electricity blackouts. To gai…
