Research on Dynamic Energy Management Optimization of Park Integrated Energy System Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

Under the background of energy transition, the Integrated Energy System (IES) of the park has become a key carrier for enhancing the consumption capacity of renewable energy due to its multi-energy complementary characteristics. However, the high proportion of wind and solar resource access and the fluctuation of diverse loads have led to the system facing dual uncertainty challenges, and traditional optimization methods are difficult to adapt to the dynamic and complex dispatching requirements. To this end, this paper proposes a new dynamic energy management method based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and constructs an IES hybrid integer nonlinear programming model including wind power, photovoltaic, combined heat and power generation, and storage of electric heat energy, with the goal of minimizing the operating cost of the system. By expressing the dispatching process as a Markov decision process, a state space covering wind and solar output, multiple loads and energy storage states is defined, a continuous action space for unit output and energy storage control is constructed, and a reward function integrating economic cost and the penalty for renewable energy consumption is designed. The Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) and Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithms were adopted to achieve policy optimization. This study is based on simulation rather than experimental validation, which aligns with the exploratory scope of this research. The simulation results show that the DDPG algorithm achieves an average weekly operating cost of 532,424 yuan in the continuous action space scheduling, which is 8.6% lower than that of the DQN algorithm, and the standard deviation of the cost is reduced by 19.5%, indicating better robustness. Under the fluctuation of 10% to 30% on the source-load side, the DQN algorithm still maintains a cost fluctuation of less than 4.5%, highlighting the strong adaptability of DRL to uncertain environments. Therefore, this method has significant theoretical and practical value for promoting the intelligent transformation of the energy system.

Abstract

Under the background of energy transition, the Integrated Energy System (IES) of the park has become a key carrier for enhancing the consumption capacity of renewable energy due to its multi-energy complementary characteristics. However, the high proportion of wind and solar resource access and the fluctuation of diverse loads have led to the system facing dual uncertainty challenges, and traditional optimization methods are difficult to adapt to the dynamic and complex dispatching requirements. To this end, this paper proposes a new dynamic energy management method based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and constructs an IES hybrid integer nonlinear programming model including wind power, photovoltaic, combined heat and power generation, and storage of electric heat energy, with the goal of minimizing the operating cost of the system. By expressing the dispatching process as a Markov decision process, a state space covering wind and solar output, multiple loads and energy storage states is defined, a continuous action space for unit output and energy storage control is constructed, and a reward function integrating economic cost and the penalty for renewable energy consumption is designed. The Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) and Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithms were adopted to achieve policy optimization. This study is based on simulation rather than experimental validation, which aligns with the exploratory scope of this research. The simulation results show that the DDPG algorithm achieves an average weekly operating cost of 532,424 yuan in the continuous action space scheduling, which is 8.6% lower than that of the DQN algorithm, and the standard deviation of the cost is reduced by 19.5%, indicating better robustness. Under the fluctuation of 10% to 30% on the source-load side, the DQN algorithm still maintains a cost fluctuation of less than 4.5%, highlighting the strong adaptability of DRL to uncertain environments. Therefore, this method has significant theoretical and practical value for promoting the intelligent transformation of the energy system.
