摘要

The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources (RES), Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs), and Battery Energy storage systems (BESS) along with smart appliances by prosumers’ has led to the development of sophisticated Smart home Energy Management Systems (SHEMS). Energy Scheduling is an integral part of SHEMS. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a key energy scheduling strategy in SHEMS, effectively balancing energy needs, and cost reduction while ensuring user comfort. The objective of this review is to highlight recent advancements in RL-based energy scheduling strategies for SHEMS to address pertinent issues and advantages. These strategies are compared based on objectives such as cost reduction, RES and PEV adoption, Real-Time Management, and Battery Degradation cost to draw potential research direction. Pertinent works addressing significant challenges, including computational complexity, uncertainties, and real-time management are also discussed. The review concludes that these strategies for SHEMS are promising from sustainability, energy efficiency, and overall prosumers’ cost-saving perspective.
