Combined Stochastic Optimization of Frequency Control and Self-Consumption with a Battery
Jonas Engels, Bert Claessens, Geert Deconinck
Optimally combining frequency control with self-consumption can increase revenues from battery storage systems installed behind-the-meter. This work presents an optimized control s…
Direct Load Control of Thermostatically Controlled Loads Based on Sparse Observations Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Frederik Ruelens, Bert J. Claessens, Peter Vrancx +2
This paper considers a demand response agent that must find a near-optimal sequence of decisions based on sparse observations of its environment. Extracting a relevant set of featu…
Model-Free Control of Thermostatically Controlled Loads Connected to a District Heating Network
Bert J. Claessens, Dirk Vanhoudt, Johan Desmedt +1
Optimal control of thermostatically controlled loads connected to a district heating network is considered a sequential decision- making problem under uncertainty. The practicality…
The use of distributed thermal storage in district heating grids for demand side management
Dirk Vanhoudt, Bert Claessens, Robbe Salenbien +1
The work presented in this paper relates to a small scale district heating network heated by a gas fired CHP. In most common situations, such a CHP is heat driven operated, meaning…
