These allow to learn upper-level policies whose main advantage is that these distributions explore directly in the parameter space. The contribution of this paper is to propose an algorithm based on importance sampling methods and local linear regression that uses the samples in an efficient way. In order to get this aim, we propose to include information of all the past samples in the learning process using importance sampling methods. Additionally, we use the gradient direction of the linear local model reward to explore regions where the prediction of the reward could be better.","PeriodicalId":153985,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Systems and Control (ICSC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134312134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a methodology for state of health estimation of lead acid battery bank by parametric identification. A particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for parameter fitting of a real battery bank. A periodic perturbation is introduced in the population to prevent the algorithm from falling into local minimums. The perturbation will consist of a new population $PS_j^k$ based on the best global solution allowing the reactivation of the PSO algorithm. The proposed method is validated using experimental data that is obtained from a renewable energy system located at Chocó - Colombia. The capacity, state of health, and internal resistance of the battery bank is estimated and the evolution of the parameters associated with the battery capacity are shown.","PeriodicalId":153985,"journal":{"name":"2018 7th International Conference on Systems and Control (ICSC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130600692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
