Optimizing solar-plus-storage operation for markets with imbalance penalties

Scientists in Japan have used a deep reinforcement learning–based AI model to calculate discrepancies between the planned and actual electricity supply volumes in PV-battery systems operating in markets where grid imbalances are penalized. Through a series of simulations, they found that the proposed methodology can reduce imbalance penalties by approximately 47%.Researchers from Japan’s University of Tsukuba have developed a novel imbalance-awa…
