A Behavior-Guided Online Probabilistic Forecasting Method for Electric vehicle Charging Loads

The paper introduces a behavior-guided online probabilistic forecasting framework for electric vehicle charging loads that captures both persistent station-specific patterns and recent behavioral changes through a dual-timescale representation. It employs semantic encoding of behavioral shifts to adapt forecasts in a drift-aware manner and uses a delayed-feedback mechanism to maintain temporal consistency across horizons. Experiments on ten real-world charging stations show consistent improvements over conventional models, reducing MSE and Pinball loss by up to 22.6% for 4‑hour ahead forecasts.

Towards Sustainable Hydrogen Systems: Supply Chain Optimization with Model Predictive Control and Reinforcement Learning

This study evaluates four control strategies—rule-based, model predictive control (MPC), reinforcement learning without forecasts (RL‑NF), and reinforcement learning with forecasts (RL‑F)—for a renewable‑powered hydrogen supply chain. Using a unified, physically realistic simulation that includes electrolyzer constraints, storage dynamics, and grid limits, the authors find that MPC delivers the best economic performance by leveraging short‑term forecasts, while RL‑NF performs robustly without future information. RL‑F does not consistently outperform RL‑NF, indicating that forecast uncertainty and added state complexity can hinder forecast‑augmented learning.
