Intelligent Energy Management System for Smart Grids Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

Smart grid technology is rapidly advancing and providing various opportunities for efficient energy management. To achieve the full potential of smart grids, intelligent energy management systems (IEMS) are required that can optimally manage and control the distributed energy resources (DERs). In this paper, proposed an IEMS using the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm to manage the energy consumption and production in a smart grid. The proposed methodology aims to minimize the energy cost while maintaining the stability and reliability of the grid. The performance of the proposed IEMS is evaluated on a simulated smart grid, and the results show that it can effectively manage the energy resources while minimizing the energy cost.
