摘要

This paper addresses the challenge of short-term multi-reservoir hydropower optimization, comparing Reinforcement Learning (RL) models with a benchmark Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) approach. While existing literature focuses on long-term objectives, this study explores short-term decision-making crucial for daily operations. Three RL algorithms are tested across different environment configurations. Results demonstrate RL approaches the MILP’s performance while requiring much less computational time.
