Applying reinforcement learning to maximise photovoltaic self-consumption for electric vehicle charging

Recently, and in line with the ongoing trend of electrification, many office and industrial buildings are investing in rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installations and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This combination and the ability to shift EV charging in time provides opportunities to apply the flexibility of EV charging for local peak shaving and load balancing. This study applies a reinfor...
