Wind power generation is variable and uncertain. In the power systems with high penetration of wind power, determination of equivalent operating reserve is the main concern of systems operator. In this paper, a model is proposed to determine operating reserves in simultaneous market clearing of energy and reserve by stochastic programming based on scenarios generated via Monte Carlo simulation ...

In a real electricity market, complete information of rivals’ behavior is not available to market participants. Therefore, they make their bidding strategies based on the historical information of the market clearing price. In this paper, a new market simulator is introduced for a joint energy and spinning reserve market, in which market participants’ learning process is modeled using Q-learnin...

Load forecasting is an important component for power system energy management system. Precise load forecasting helps the electric utility to make unit commitment decisions, reduce spinning reserve capacity and schedule device maintenance plan properly and it also reduces the generation cost and increases reliability of power systems. In this work, a fuzzy logic approach for short term load fore...

It has been shown that the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems of commercial buildings can offer ancillary services to power systems due to their large thermal inertia. In this paper, we propose a new control framework for scheduling and provision of frequency reserves by commercial building aggregations. The framework builds on a hierarchical control scheme: first, the re...

1 The work described in this paper was coordinated by the Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions on behalf of the Department of Energy. Abstract We examine the design of bid selection protocols and settlement rules in ancillary service markets. Such markets are typically operated by an independent system operator (ISO) for competitive procurement of reserves that are needed to...

Using the Teukolsky and Sasaki-Nakamura formalisms for the perterbations around a Kerr black hole, we calculate the energy flux of gravitational waves induced by a spinning particle of mass μ and spin S moving in circular orbits near the equatorial plain of a rotating black hole of mass M( μ) and spin Ma. The calculations are performed by using the recently developed post-Newtonian expansion te...

The motion of classical test spinning particles in Gödel universe in the realm of Einstein’s General Relativity (GR) is investigated by making use of Killing conserved currents. We consider three distinct cases of motion of spinning particles polarized along the three distinct axes of the anisotropic metric. It is shown that in the case the spin is polarised along the y − direction the minimum ...
