Research on Long-Term Scheduling Optimization of Water–Wind–Solar Multi-Energy Complementary System Based on DDPG

To address the challenges of high complexity in modeling the correlation of multi-dimensional stochastic variables and the difficulty of solving long-term scheduling models in continuous action spaces in multi-energy complementary systems, this paper proposes a long-term optimization scheduling method based on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG). First, an improved C-Vine Copula model is used to construct the multi-dimensional joint probability distribution of water, wind, and solar energy, and Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) is employed to generate a large number of water–wind–solar coupling scenarios, effectively reducing the model’s complexity. Then, a long-term optimization scheduling model is established with the goal of maximizing the absorption of clean energy, and it is converted into a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Next, the DDPG algorithm is employed with a noise dynamic adjustment mechanism to optimize the policy in continuous action spaces, yielding the optimal long-term scheduling strategy for the water–wind–solar multi-energy complementary system. Finally, using a water–wind–solar integrated energy base as a case study, comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed method can improve the renewable energy absorption capacity and the system’s power generation efficiency by accurately quantifying the uncertainties of water, wind, and solar energy and precisely controlling the continuous action space during the scheduling process.
