Explainable Data-driven Deep Reinforcement Learning Methods for Optimal Energy Management in Buildings 文章

arXiv:2606.02049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing integration of renewable energy sources into power systems, particularly in buildings equipped with photovoltaic (PV) panels and energy storage systems, introduces significant complexity in energy systems. Volatile power generation, varying electricity tariffs, and increased entities, e.g., PV systems, and heat pumps, have increased the complexity and made the system harder to operate. This leads to the demand for additional control and optimization routes including data-based controls, such as reinforcement learning. While deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has emerged as a promising solution to optimize building operations in dynamic and ever more complex environments, its black-box nature impedes user trust and practical adoption. This paper presents a framework for explainable deep reinforcement learning (XRL) applied to energy management in residential buildings.
