Lucie Merlier gave a mini scientific lecture on her research topic. Her presentation was entitled ‘Urban heat islands: Problems, solutions & adaptation challenges’.

Their paper, entitled “Assessment of Three Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for District Heating Network Optimal Control”, demonstrates how the optimization problem of district heating network control can be reformulated as a policy learning task, by coupling an autonomous agent with a digital twin of the network.
