Abstract

A renewable energy error compensable forecasting method using a battery is provided. The method may include modeling a policy π θ with a parameter θ, by using a reinforcement learning algorithm in which a state s t of an agent in a time zone t and, a reward r t+1 in a time zone t+1 and a next state s t+1 with respect to an action α t taken by the agent are determined; determining the parameter θ capable of minimizing a sum of an error function f t + 1 D ; and generating a compensable error with the battery using a model including the parameter θ.
