Ensemble Control of Cycling Energy Loads: Markov Decision Approach
Ensemble Control of Cycling Energy Loads: Markov Decision Approach
A Markov decision process (MDP) framework is adopted to represent ensemble control of devices with cyclic energy consumption patterns, e.g., thermostatically controlled loads. Specifically we utilize and develop the class of MDP models previously coined linearly solvable MDPs, that describe optimal dynamics of the probability distribution of an ensemble of …
