By leveraging advanced smart grid technologies and intelligent energy management systems, the research endeavors to create a cost-effective software solution for optimizing the charging process. This study deploys proximal policy optimization (PPO) multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MARL) within an actor-critic network architecture. Agents are responsible for managing the supply and demand of energy from two grids welcoming ten charging stations each pumping energy from the integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Performance metrics are compared against a dynamic programming (DP) approach, serving as a benchmark. The DP model excels when prior information is readily available. In contrast, PPO agents exhibit remarkable robustness and adaptability in environments lacking such information obtaining 95% accuracy. These insights not only enrich the existing academic discourse but also establish new performance benchmarks for practical implementations. date: 2024-11-01 date_type: published publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) official_url: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2311394 lyricists_name: Asef, Pedram lyricists_id: PASEF45 actors_name: Asef, Pedram actors_id: PASEF45 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper pagerange: 1-6 event_title: 59th International Universities Power Engineering Conference event_location: Cardiff, UK event_dates: 2nd-6th September 2024 book_title: Proceedings of the 59th International Universities Power Engineering Conference citation: Chan, Kevin; Asef, Pedram; Benoit, Alexandre; (2024) Intelligent Energy Management using Multi-Agent Dynamic Learning for Scheduling Commercial Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.
