Title
Intelligent Decision-Making for Smart Home Energy Management
Abstract
Abstract One of the goals of Smart Grids is to encourage distributed generation of energy in houses, hence allowing the user to profit by injecting energy into the power grid. The implementation of a differentiated tariff of energy per time of use, coupled with energy storage in batteries, enables profit maximization by the user, who can choose to sell or store the energy generated whenever it is convenient. This paper proposes a solution to the sequential decision-making problem of energy sale by applying reinforcement learning. Results show a significant increase in the total long-term profit by using the policy obtained with the proposed approach, when compared with a price-unaware selling policy.
