With the increasing demand for electricity and the significant growth of renewable energy sources (RES), especially wind power, the need for new services to increase system flexibility has increased more than ever. Flexibility services can enhance system security. This paper proposes a framework for enhancing system flexibility by integrating emerging services for running the day‐ahead energy, spinning, and flexible ramping product (FRP) markets, considering high wind power penetration. Due to the uncertainty of wind power production, this framework is presented as a stochastic network‐constraint unit commitment (NCUC) problem. The services that are implemented simultaneously in the problem include transmission switching (TS), demand response (DR) program, and transportable battery energy storage (TBES). Moreover, two new indices are introduced to evaluate the effects of flexibility services. Another contribution of this paper is performing comprehensive studies for comparing various case studies in normal and the worst contingency conditions of the network. The IEEE RTS‐79 test system is employed to approve the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The results of various case studies show that using emerging services together increases power grid flexibility and reduces system operating costs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
