Smart grid energy scheduling based on improved dynamic programming algorithm and LSTM.

The optimal scheduling of energy in a smart grid is crucial to the energy consumption of the entire grid. In fact, for larger grids, intelligent scheduling may result in substantial energy savings. Herein, we introduce an enhanced dynamic programming algorithm (DPA) that utilizes two state variables to derive the optimal power supply schedule. The algorithm accounts for the dynamic states of both batteries and supercapacitors in the power supply system to augment the performance of the dynamic programming model. Additionally, this study incorporates a long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning model, which integrates various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation to predict grid power consumption. This serves as a mid-point pre-processing step for smart grid energy consumption scheduling. Our simulation experiments confirm that the proposed method significantly reduces energy consumption, surpassing similar grid energy consumption scheduling algorithms. This is critical for the establishment of smart grids and the reduction of energy consumption and emissions.
