Renewable Energy Consumption Strategies for Electric Vehicle Aggregators Based on a Two-Layer Game by Xiu Ji, Mingge Li, Zheyu Yue, Haifeng Zhang, Yizhu Wang

“…In order to address the above problems, this paper proposes an electric vehicle aggregator (EVA) scheduling strategy based on a two-layer game by constructing a two-layer game model between renewable energy generators (REG) and EVA, where the REG formulates time-sharing tariff strategies in the upper layer to guide the charging and discharging behaviors of electric vehicles, and the EVA respond to the price signals in the lower layer to optimize the large-scale electric vehicle scheduling. For the complexity of large-scale scheduling, this paper introduces the A2C (Advantage Actor-Critic) reinforcement learning algorithm, which combines the value network and the strategy network synergistically to optimize the real-time scheduling process. …”

A Novel Long Short-Term Memory Predicted Algorithm for BDS Short-Term Satellite Clock Offsets by Tailai Wen, Gang Ou, Xiaomei Tang, Pengyu Zhang, Pengcheng Wang

“…The satellite clocks carried on the BeiDou navigation System (BDS) are a self-manufactured hydrogen clock and improved rubidium clock, and their on-orbit performance and stabilities are not as efficient as GPS and Galileo satellite clocks caused of the orbital diversity of the BDS and the complexity of the space operating environment. Therefore, the existing BDS clock product cannot guarantee the high accuracy demand for precise point positioning in real-time scenes while the communication link is interrupted. …”
