Abstract

This study presents an innovative optimization method for resource scheduling in multi-energy storage systems, focusing on improving resource allocation while considering supply-demand flexibility and renewable energy integration. As renewable energy gains popularity and multi-energy systems become more complex, effective utilization of energy storage to achieve supply-demand balance, optimize energy scheduling, and maximize renewable energy integration is crucial. To address this challenge, a Markov dynamic model is developed to capture the dynamic changes in energy supply and demand within the multi-energy storage system. The model is then solved using a reinforcement learning approach to optimize resource scheduling decisions. Numerical simulations and case studies are conducted to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method, showcasing its potential to enhance operational efficiency and reliability in multi-energy storage systems amidst constantly changing energy patterns. This research provides valuable insights and decision support for the design and operation of multi-energy storage systems, contributing to the advancement of sustainable energy utilization and promoting sustainable development in the energy sector.
