摘要: 新能源汽车保有量激增与高速公路充电服务能力不足之间的矛盾日益突出,同时传统多目标充电站规划方法依赖静态假设、难以适应动态交通环境。为解决上述问题,提出基于深度强化学习的高速公路连续充电站动态定容模型。将多个连续的充电站容量规划问题建模为马尔可夫决策过程,其状态空间融合充电站实时运行指标及车辆动态特征,有效刻画了“交通流-充电需求-用户行为”的非线性耦合关系,并设计了兼顾用户满意度与运营成本的多目标奖励函数。在算法层面,设计D3QN-PER-2s算法,该算法结合Dueling深度Q网络(deep Q-network,DQN)分离状态价值与动作优势函数,并利用Double DQN解决Q值过估计问题,引入优先经验回放机制评估经验重要性并进行优先级采样;并进一步采用两步时序差分更新策略,融入未来步的奖励与价值信息,增强更新过程的稳定性。模型依托SUMO仿真环境开展实时交互式学习,无需依赖历史数据,为生成鲁棒性强的方案,引入经验累积分布函数分位数分析策略,在训练后对大量仿真决策进行统计分析,选取90%分位数对应值作为最终方案,有效平衡方案经济性与需求波动的鲁棒性。结果表明,所提出的基于深度强化学习的定容方案将充电排队车辆占比控制在10%以内,且平均排队时间小于3 min。相较于基于遗传算法求解的排队论多目标模型,建设成本降低24.3%,在充电高峰时段充电桩利用率提升17.4%。上述结果证明该方法在解决多目标充电桩容量规划问题上的优越性,提升了高速充电服务效率与用户充电体验。Abstract: The contradiction between the surging number of new energy vehicles and the inadequate charging services on highways becomes increasingly prominent. Compounding this issue, traditional multi-objective planning methods for charging stations rely on static assumptions and fail to adapt to dynamic traffic environments. To resolve these limitations, a dynamic capacity planning model based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed for consecutive highways charging stations. The capacity planning problem for consecutive charging stations is modeled as a Markov decision process. The state space integrates real-time operational metrics of charging stations and dynamic vehicular features to characterize the nonlinear coupling among traffic flow, charging demand, and user behavior. Furthermore, a multi-objective reward function balances user satisfaction and operational costs is designed. Algorithmically, the D3QN-PER-2s algorithm is developed. It combines the Dueling deep Q-network (DQN) architecture to separate state value from action advantage functions and employs Double DQN to mitigate Q-value overestimation problem. Additionally, a prioritized experience replay mechanism is introduced to evaluate experience importance and conduct priority sampling. To enhance learning stability, the algorithm further adopts a two-step temporal difference update strategy that incorporates future rewards and value estimates. The model interacts with the SUMO simulation environment for real-time learning, eliminating the dependence on historical data. To generate highly robust planning solutions, a quantile analysis strategy based on the empirical cumulative distribution function is introduced. Statistical analysis is conducted on extensive simulated decisions after training. The 90th percentile value is selected as the final plan, effectively balancing cost-effectiveness and robustness against demand fluctuations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed deep reinforcement learning-based scheme controls the proportion of queuing vehicles to within 10% reduces the average queuing time to less than 3 minutes. Compared to a multi-objective queuing model solved by genetic algorithm, this approach reduces construction costs by 24.3% and improves peak-hour charger utilization by 17.4%. These results prove the superiority of the proposed method in solving multi-objective capacity planning problem of chargers, enhancing the efficiency of highway charging services and user charging experience.
