Enhancement of smart grid technology using end-to-end reinforcement learning in deep q-network

Abstract

This paper reviews the complex task problems which are out of reach for a simple machine. So, there is a need for a solution for such a problem, so the solution is Reinforcement Learning with deep Q-Network. Reinforcement learning techniques are now being researched for their applicability in a wide range of situations. Perhaps because of the rising complexity and unpredictability in the generation and distribution sector of power systems, traditional approaches frequently encounter congestion while attempting to handle decision and control issues that are out of reach for a basic machine. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is one of these data-driven approaches that is considered true Artificial Intelligence (AI). DRL is a hybrid of Deep Learning (DL) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). Our study examines the fundamental concepts, models, methods, and approaches of DRL. It also presents power system applications such as smart grids, energy management, demand response, the electricity market, operational control, and many others. Furthermore, current advancements in DRL, the coupling of RL with other classical techniques, and the prospects and problems of its applications in the power system are explored.
