Abstract

Abstract: In addressing the challenge of the DRL algorithm in the optimization of combined heat and power (CHP) units, lacking safety and stability guarantees, a scheduling optimization method based on SRL is proposed. Utilizing Dymola platform, a district heating system model is constructed with the CHP unit as the heat source. A MDP model for the economic dispatching of CHP units is designed, incorporating control barrier functions (CBF) to guide safe exploration in DRL. Simulation results show that the CBF-DRL method, in complex and nonlinear district heating systems, not only accelerates the convergence of DRL algorithms but also efficiently utilizes the thermal inertia of heating pipelines to enhance the economic performance of CHP units. In particular, it has significant safety benefits.
