Optimal operation of a pumped-storage hydro plant that compensates the imbalances of a wind power producer

A stochastic model for the daily coordination of pumped storage hydro plants and wind power plants

We propose a stochastic model for the daily operation scheduling of a generation system including pumped storage hydro plants and wind power plants, where the uncertainty is represented by the hourly wind power production. In order to assess the value of the stochastic modeling, we discuss two case studies: in the former the scenario tree is built so as to include both low and high wind power p...

Probabilistic Optimal Operation of a Smart Grid Including Wind Power Generator Units

This paper presents a probabilistic optimal power flow (POPF) algorithm considering different uncertainties in a smart grid. Different uncertainties such as variation of nodal load, change in system configuration, measuring errors, forecasting errors, and etc. can be considered in the proposed algorithm. By increasing the penetration of the renewable energies in power systems, it is more essent...

Optimal Operation of Doubly-fed Induction Generator used in a Grid-Connected Wind Power System

In this paper, a wind power system based on a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is modeled and simulated. To guarantee high-performance control of the powers injected into the grid by the wind turbine, five intelligent super-twisting sliding mode controllers (STSMC) are used to eliminate the active power and current ripples of the DFIG. The STSMC controller is a high-order sliding mode cont...

Feasibility Study of Pumped Hydro Energy Storage for Ramea Wind-Diesel Hybrid Power System

Optimal Wind Power Plant Bidding under Consideration of Storage

In this master thesis, a model is proposed to enable profitable market participation of wind power plants considering the availability of second-party owned energy storage. A novel concept of storage capacity reservations is presented using which the wind power producer hedges against wind outcomes which are unfavourable with respect to its day-ahead market bids. The idea that wind power produc...
