Coordinated Scheduling Strategy for Distributed Generation Considering Uncertainties in Smart Grids

Abstract

Smart grid with great flexibility requirements will not accommodate high proportion of distributed generation with uncertainty in the future. Hence, it becomes indispensable to research scheduling strategy of distributed generation, aiming to reduce serious curtailment of renewable energy. This paper firstly proposes a virtual power supply, which consists of wind power (WP), photovoltaic (PV) power and pumped storage (PS) power. Based on that, a scheduling strategy structure considering stochastic characteristics caused by WP and PV is designed. After that, according to probability distribution of WP and PV, typical virtual power scenarios are obtained via scenario prediction and scenario reduction method. Furthermore, based on flexibility of virtual power and guidance of time-sharing electricity price mechanism, a coordinated scheduling model with optimization objective that maximizes profit is established. Finally, in simulation, validity of proposed model is verified via comparing with different scheduling models. Besides, profits of system under various peak-valley prices are analyzed, which can provide guidance for electricity pricing. The results illustrate that the proposed scheduling strategy can efficiently balance economy and flexibility in optimizing WP and PV consumption and profits of system are increased with 28% at most.

Research on Power System Joint Optimal Generation Scheduling Based on Improved Balance Optimizer

“…Power load climbing (Meyendorf et al, 2017) refers to the phenomenon of large-scale increase or decrease of system power in a short time, which is easy to cause an imbalance of system active power, destroy the frequency stability, and even cause large-scale diecutting load, which seriously threatens the safety and stability of power grid and economic operation. In this article, this kind of event is regarded as an accidental event for optimal generation scheduling for scheduling regulation, and the changes of power system voltage, fluctuation rate (Dong et al, 2020), and other parameters during power load climbing are solved. The prediction algorithm is used to predict the linear change of power in the next step, and reasonable scheduling is carried out according to the change value.…”
