As the construction of supporting infrastructure for electric vehicles (EV) becomes more and more perfect, an energy replenishment station (ERS) involving photovoltaics (PV) that can provide charging and battery swapping services for electric vehicle owners comes into the vision of humanity. The operation optimization of each device in the ERS is conducive to improving the service capacity of the ERS, extending the service life of the energy storage batteries (ESB), and enhancing the economic benefits of the ERS. However, traditional model-based optimization algorithms cannot fully consider the stochastic nature of EV owners’ charging and battery swapping demands, the uncertainty of PV output, and the complex operating characteristics of ESB. Therefore, we propose a deep reinforcement learning-based adaptive optimal operation method for ERS considering ESB’s losses. Firstly, a mathematical model of each device in the ERS is established, and a refined energy storage model is introduced to describe ESB’s capacity degradation and efficiency decay. Secondly, to solve the dimensional disaster problem, the state space and action space selection method, and the charging strategy of batteries in the battery swapping station (BSS) are proposed to apply to the ERS, thus modeling the ERS optimization operation problem as a Markov decision process. Then, the solution is performed using a neural network-based proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm, consisting of a recurrent neural network that extracts information about the PV outflow trend and a deep neural network used to generate a control policy. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation calculations, which not only enable adaptive decision-making under different PV output scenarios, but also consider the availability of EV battery swapping services, energy storage losses, and the economic benefits of the ERS. |
