Reinforcement Learning (RL)

An end-to-end project implementation to demonstrate reinforcement learning algorithms for optimal control of renewable energy technology. The pages below are grouped into the following categories, which align with the phases of the project:


Concepts


Building the Agent — Hardware & Firmware

The project optimizes a dual-axis solar panel to maximize energy output. Simulation datasets are provided in the Agent Design & Experimentation section, but full instructions for building your own dual-axis-tracking panel system are in the pages below.
