In plain words: A control agent for energy systems combines trial-and-error learning with a learned model of the system and copying expert examples. It aims to cut the huge number of trials needed and provide a safe fallback when conditions change; results are not yet reported.

Abstract · Imitation Game: A Model-based and Imitation Learning Deep Reinforcement Learning Hybrid

Autonomous and learning systems based on Deep Reinforcement Learning have firmly established themselves as a foundation for approaches to creating resilient and efficient Cyber-Physical Energy Systems. However, most current approaches suffer from two distinct problems: Modern model-free algorithms such as Soft Actor Critic need a high number of samples to learn a meaningful policy, as well as a fallback to ward against concept drifts (e. g., catastrophic forgetting). In this paper, we present the work in progress towards a hybrid agent architecture that combines model-based Deep Reinforcement Learning with imitation learning to overcome both problems.
