This letter proposes a novel inner approximation method for the aggregated temporally-coupled power flexibility of distributed energy resources (DERs). Previous inner approximation methods were proposed without knowing the explicit formulation of the exact flexibility aggregation model of DERs. Recently, we have derived that explicit formulation [1], so its properties are exploited to develop an inner approximation in this letter. The proposed method significantly improves the accuracy and computation speed. Numerical tests verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
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.
