Smart grids are advancing the management efficiency and security of power grids with the integration of energy storage, distributed controll… (voir plus)ers, and advanced meters. In particular, with the increasing prevalence of residential automation devices and distributed renewable energy generation, residential energy management is now drawing more attention. Meanwhile, the increasing adoption of electric vehicle (EV) brings more challenges and opportunities for smart residential energy management. This paper formalizes energy management for the residential home with EV charging as a Markov Decision Process and proposes reinforcement learning (RL) based control algorithms to address it. The objective of the proposed algorithms is to minimize the long-term operating cost. We further use a recurrent neural network (RNN) to model the electricity demand as a preprocessing step. Both the RNN prediction and latent representations are used as additional state features for the RL based control algorithms. Experiments on real-world data show that the proposed algorithms can significantly reduce the operating cost and peak power consumption compared to baseline control algorithms.
