Are Optimal Day-Ahead Markets Able to Face RES Uncertainty? Evaluating Perfect Stochastic Energy Planning Models∗

چکیده
Approximations made in day-ahead markets can result in suboptimal or even infeasible schedules for generating units and inaccurate predictions of actual costs and wind curtailment. Here we compare different optimal models of day-ahead markets based on unit commitment (UC) formulations, especially energyvs. power-based UC; excluding or including startup and shutdown trajectories; and deterministic vs. “ideal” stochastic models to face wind uncertainty. The day-ahead hourly schedules are then evaluated against actual wind and load profiles using a (5-min) real-time dispatch model. We find that each simplification usually causes expected generation costs to increase by several percentage points, and results in significant understatement of expected wind curtailment and, in some cases, load interruptions.

متن کاملOptimal energy management of microgrid in day-ahead and intra-day markets using a copula-based uncertainty modeling method
Recently, economic and environmental problems have created a strong attitude toward utilizing renewable energy sources (RESs). Nevertheless, uncertainty of wind and solar power leads to a more complicated energy management (EM) of RESs in microgrids. This paper models and solves the EM problem of microgrid from the generation point of view. To do this, mathematical formulation of a grid- connec...
متن کاملHow Does Pricing of Day-ahead Electricity Market Affect Put Option Pricing?
In this paper, impacts of day-ahead market pricing on behavior of producers and consumers in option and day-ahead markets and on option pricing are studied. To this end, two comprehensive equilibrium models for joint put option and day-ahead markets under pay-as-bid and uniform pricing in day-ahead market are presented, respectively. Interaction between put option and day-ahead markets, uncerta...
متن کاملSingle and Multi-settlement Approaches to Market Clearing Mechanisms under Demand Uncertainty
Electricity markets face a substantial amount of uncertainty. Traditionally this uncertainty has been due to varying demand. With the integration of larger proportions of volatile renewable energy, this added uncertainty from generation must also be faced. Conventional electricity market designs cope with uncertainty by running two markets: a day ahead or pre-dispatch market that is cleared ahe...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Stochastic Day-Ahead Market Clearing in Gas and Power Networks Integrated with Wind Energy
The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...
