Adaptive Battery Control with Neural Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The return on investment of a battery system is maximized if the battery control strategy is appropriately matched to the operating environment (e.g., pricing scheme, electrical load). For residential battery systems, the current practice is to statically determine the control policy prior to system installation; the battery subsequently spends upwards of 10 years operating in a dynamic environment. A state-of-the-art model predictive controller (MPC) can adapt to changes in the system, but is limited by its high online computational requirements. To better extract value at a reasonable online computational cost, we propose an adaptive battery controller framework that learns a control strategy by encoding an MPC policy in a neural network, as data becomes available, to adapt the control to the operating environment. We evaluate our controller in the context of a solar PV-storage system deployed in Texas under a time-of-use pricing scheme. We find that our controller gets to within 5-10% of optimal performance, and outperforms a default control strategy for PV-storage systems within a few months of installation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
