  1. Soner, Mete (Ed.)
    We develop a backward-in-time machine learning algorithm that uses a sequence of neural networks to solve optimal switching problems in energy production, where electricity and fossil fuel prices are subject to stochastic jumps. We then apply this algorithm to a variety of energy scheduling problems, including novel high-dimensional energy production problems. Our experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm performs with accuracy and experiences linear to sub-linear slowdowns as dimension increases, demonstrating the value of the algorithm for solving high-dimensional switching problem. Keywords. Deep neural networks, forward-backward systems of stochastic differential equations, optimal switching, Monte Carlo algorithm, optimal investment in power generation, planning problems
