Markovian decision processes in an energy storage system using the software Аrena®
Abstract
This paper considers the problem of modeling and optimal control of
an energy storage system simulated with the software package Arena®. The
study is aimed at investigating an approach to determine the optimal control
policy applying the Markovian decision processes. The software package
Arena® will be used to create a simulation model of the investigated energy
storage system and to analyze the performance of its functioning. The
considerations are based on description of the energy storage system in an
energy supply facility.
