Hybrid intelligent optimization strategy of battery swapping station for electric vehicles based on reinforcement learning by Hongwei Yi, Huan Zhang, Jianghong Li, Yanling Zhao

“…The GSO-PPO algorithm is constructed, where PPO algorithm learns the optimal scheduling strategy for the battery swapping station in a dynamic environment, and the GSO algorithm optimizes the hyperparameters of PPO and adjusts the weight of the reward function to achieve the multi-objective optimization of minimizing battery life, shortening vehicle waiting time, and efficiently managing grid load. The experimental results show that compared with random strategies and traditional PPO algorithms, GSO-PPO reduces vehicle waiting time and improves service efficiency, making the overall operation of the battery swapping station more stable. …”
