Abstract:

To ensure the economic operation of an integrated energy system(IES), a coordinated optimization scheduling method for IES based on energy routers is proposed to address the issues such as difficulty in solving optimization scheduling models, slow convergence, and unsatisfactory performance in traditional model-driven scheduling methods. The IES was divided into three regions using three electrical, thermal, and cooling energy routers. Energy devices were modelled, and a Markov cooperative game model for IES optimization scheduling was established, forming a framework of centralized training and distributed execution. A Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (MADDPG) algorithm based on an improved two-layer Actor-Critic network was used, where the two-layer Critic network evaluated action values to avoid their overestimation. Additionally, a prioritized experience replay mechanism was incorporated to improve data utilization efficiency in the experience replay pool without compromising the diversity of data. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm was 10.13 s faster in calculation speed and reduced daily scheduling costs by 1 638.13 yuan compared to the unimproved method, achieving coordinated optimization scheduling of IES while ensuring system economic efficiency.

Key words: integrated energy system, coordinated optimization scheduling, Markov game, energy router, two-layer Actor-Critic network, prioritized experience replay mechanism
