Offline Reinforcement Learning for Wind Farm Control: A Wind Tunnel Study under Dynamic Wind Directions
This paper addresses the wind farm power maximization problem in the presence of wind direction changes. Specifically, a model-free Modified Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient with Behavior Cloning (MTD3-BC) algorithm is proposed to tackle this task through yaw control under varying wind direction conditions. MTD3-BC is an offline reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm that aims to infer good behavior from only a precollected offline dataset. Additionally, to ensure smooth and moderate yaw adjustments, a new action consistency term is introduced into the policy optimization objective. Unlike online RL methods, MTD3-BC does not require extensive interactions with a wind farm si...
