Multi-objective short-term scheduling of active distribution networks for benefit maximization of DisCos and DG owners considering demand response programs and energy storage system

Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-objective benefit function for operation of active distribution systems considering demand response program (DRP) and energy storage system (ESS). In the active distribution system, active network management (ANM) is applied so that the distribution system equipment is controlled in real-time status based on the real-time measurements of system parameters (voltages and currents). The multi-objective optimization problem is solved using e-constraint method, and a fuzzy satisfying approach has been employed to select the best compromise solution. Two different objective functions are considered as follows: benefit maximization of distribution company (DisCo); benefit maximization of distributed generation owner (DGO). To increase the benefits and efficient implementation of distributed generation (DG), DGO has installed battery as energy storage system (ESS) in parallel with DG unit. Consequently, DGO decides for the battery charging/discharging. DisCo has the ability to exchange energy with the upstream network and DGO. Also, DisCo focuses to study the effect of demand response program (DRP) on total benefit function and consequently its influence on the load profile has been discussed. This model is successfully applied to a 33-bus radial distribution network.

Integrated Demand Response Characteristics of Industrial Park: A Review

“…Demand inhibition is one of the most important strategies in IDR. Demand inhibition is commonly used in home management or intelligent buildings including lighting system and flexible heating/cooling equipment [18]. Because these systems and equipment can be run at a more energy-efficient level during high-price periods.…”

“…According to the lighting index proposed in [19], on the premise of satisfying the customers, the lighting demand is adjusted according to the elasticity of electricity price, and the peak demand is reduced by 20% [18]. In [20], an optimized home energy management controller is proposed which incorporates ratings for several types of household appliances such as deferred, thermal and critical.…”

Schedulable capacity forecasting for electric vehicles based on big data analysis

“…Step 1: Initialize the model (3) by setting the initial and maximum number of iterations m as one and M, respectively, and the initial function f 0 ðxÞ as shown in (4).…”

“…Large-scale integration of EVs and renewable energy into the grid poses great challenges in the operation of the power system due to their uncertainty and intermittent nature. Generally, large centralized energy storage systems (ESSs) can mitigate these problems, however, this would require expensive installations of large-capacity battery banks, pumped hydro and other large systems [4,5].…”

Distributionally robust optimization model of active distribution network considering uncertainties of source and load

“…As renewable energy, which is based on photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) power, increasingly penetrates the distribution network [1,2], its uncertainty and volatility bring great challenges to the optimal operation of the distribution network [3,4]. The traditional deterministic optimization method is no longer suitable [5], and the uncertainty optimization method is created.…”
