Abstract:Enhancing the proportion of energy supply from renewable energy sources in the system becomes a significant initiative to realize a low-carbon economy. A model based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for optimal allocation of low carbon economies in microgrid is proposed to mitigate system carbon emission and decrease system electricity cost. Firstly, carbon emission flow theory is introduced on which a carbon measurement model and a stepped carbon price model are constructed. Secondly, the low-carbon economy optimization problem is converted into a Markov decision. Finally, the multi-objective optimization issue can be addressed utilizing DRL. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is effective in boosting system economy and mitigating carbon emissions by regulating the capacity of generating units and shifting the load.
