Design of a weekly hybrid power market in China facilitating connection of large-scale renewable generation

Abstract

Summary In February 2002, the State Council of China published ‘Notice on Power Industry Reform’, which set out a clear road map for liberalising electricity industry in China. With the rapid development of large‐scale renewable power and emergent surplus of generation capacity in major regional power systems, further market reform in China is necessary. This paper presents a weekly hybrid power market. The role of the administrative on‐grid tariff system could be reduced and eventually withdrawn as the market matures and develops over time. This would eventually lead to a fully fledged power market. The competitive element of the hybrid market will initially be confined to coal‐fired thermal units as they are by far the dominant generating source in China. The market is divided into two parts, block and hourly bidding. The block bidding is utilised in base load to reduce shutdown, and the hourly bidding is aimed at peak load to enhance flexibility. A linkage mechanism of settlement indirectly introduces grid companies and customers into the market. The simulation validates the well application of this hybrid power market to an actual large‐scale power system. Rational results indicate the feasibility of this proposed market design. This design will provide some reference for other developing countries. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Block‐based procurement model between retailers and wind farms in medium‐long term market

“…In fact, weekly trading is an essential component of the electricity market. By participating in the weekly market, on the one hand, retailers could precisely decompose forward contracts to days and obtain the boundaries of trading electricity in the balancing market; on the other hand, producers could readjust their offering strategies with updated information [27].…”

Adaptive fractional-order PID control of PMSG-based wind energy conversion system for MPPT using linear observers

“…The continuously rising of energy demand and the urgent need to mitigate the malignant effects of climate changes resulted from global warming have driven an enormous variety of research interests to harness renewable energy sources in recent years. [1][2][3][4][5] Meanwhile, the severe issues associated with fast depleting reserves and ever-growing costs of fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas are also responsible for the growth and rise of emerging renewable energy applications, including hydro, wind, solar, and biomass. 6 Thus far, wind energy conversion system (WECS) plays a very crucial role and becomes very popular because of its elegant merits of cleanness, abundance, and wide distribution.…”

[10][11][12] The major barrier to the integration of wind energy into the electrical power grid is its uncertainty and variability. In [13][14][15][16] and, 17,18 the stochastic behavior of wind power is represented by Weibull probability density function and scenario-based stochastic programming, respectively.…”
