Optimization by Stochastic Programming for the Aggregation of a Commercial Virtual Power Plant

چکیده
Future large penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) leads to explore the potential of technical integration of these dispersed small-size generators into the distribution network. New actors may emerge, devoted to the commercial or technical aggregation, in order to provide ancillary services or to gain global productivity. Aggregating a set of small producers into a commercial Virtual Power Plant could enable its market participation like a conventional power plant. The function of aggregation should be able to reduce imbalance risk in the market, by the means of an existing methodology based on stochastic programming. This methodology is described and extended to new generation characteristics, with a discussion about the necessary improvements and about its application to a real-size case, on a rural alpine area.

Stochastic Short-Term Hydro-Thermal Scheduling Based on Mixed Integer Programming with Volatile Wind Power Generation
This study addresses a stochastic structure for generation companies (GenCoʼs) that participate in hydro-thermal self-scheduling with a wind power plant on short-term scheduling for simultaneous reserve energy and energy market. In stochastic scheduling of HTSS with a wind power plant, in addition to various types of uncertainties such as energy price, spinning /non-spinning reserve prices, unc...
متن کاملEnergy management of virtual power plant to participate in the electricity market using robust optimization
Virtual power plant (VPP) can be studied to investigate how energy is purchased or sold in the presence of electricity market price uncertainty. The VPP uses different intermittent distributed sources such as wind turbine, flexible loads, and locational marginal prices (LMPs) in order to obtain profit. VPP should propose bidding/offering curves to buy/sell from/to day-ahead market. In this pape...
متن کاملStochastic Congestion Management Considering Power System Uncertainties
Congestion management in electricity markets is traditionally done using deterministic values of power system parameters considering a fixed network configuration. In this paper, a stochastic programming framework is proposed for congestion management considering the power system uncertainties. The uncertainty sources that are modeled in the proposed stochastic framework consist of contingencie...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Stochastic Programming in Microgrids Considering Environmental Emissions
This paper deals with day-ahead programming under uncertainties in microgrids (MGs). A two-stage stochastic programming with the fixed recourse approach was adopted. The studied MG was considered in the grid-connected mode with the capability of power exchange with the upstream network. Uncertain electricity market prices, unpredictable load demand, and uncertain wind and solar power values, du...
متن کاملCoordinated resource scheduling in a large scale virtual power plant considering demand response and energy storages
Virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective approach to aggregate distributed generation resources under a central control. This paper introduces a mixed-integer linear programming model for optimal scheduling of the internal resources of a large scale VPP in order to maximize its profit. The proposed model studies the effect of a demand response (DR) program on the scheduling of the VPP. The pro...
