讲座摘要

This paper proposes an augmented Lagrangian-based safe off-policy deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm for the carbon-oriented optimal scheduling of electric vehicle (EV) aggregators in a distribution network. First, practical charging data are employed to formulate an EV aggregation model, and its flexibility in both emission mitigation and energy/power dispatching is demonstrated. Second, a two-layer optimization model is formulated for EV aggregators to participate in day-ahead optimal scheduling, which aims to minimize the total cost without exceeding the given carbon cap. Third, to tackle the nonlinear coupling between the carbon flow and power flow, a bilevel model with a carbon cap constraint is formed as a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP). Finally, the CMDP is efficiently solved by the proposed augmented Lagrangian-based DRL algorithm featuring the soft actor-critic (SAC) method. Comprehensive numerical studies with IEEE distribution test feeders demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve a fine tradeoff between cost and emission mitigation with a higher computation efficiency compared with the existing DRL methods.
