Direct load control for energy harvesting systems
- Scenario: Energy Harvesting Cellular Networks
- Macro BS (MBS) powered by energy from the electricity grid
- Small BSs (SBSs) powered only by energy harvested source (solar panel + battery)
- SBSs perform traffic and energy offloading
- Control problem: Throughput-energy trade off
- Design of agents enabling different BS operation modes
- Digital twin of the system based on real energy data and traffic demands
- Control policies
- Offline optimization
- RL-based (centralized and distributed)
- Tabular solutions (Q-learning)
- DQNs
- Imitation learning
- Layered learning
