Abstract

Virtual power plants (VPP) can act as an independent entity to aggregate different distributed resources to participate in the electricity market, which is an inevitable trend in building green and low-carbon power systems. To investigate the beneficial effect of bi-directional electric-hydrogen conversion on market trading and optimal scheduling of VPP, this paper presents an optimal scheduling method for VPP with reversible solid oxide cells (RSOC) in the electricity market. Firstly, according to the Butler-Volmer equation and Faraday law, the relationship between the hydrogen flow rate and the electric power is established, and the equivalent physical models of the two RSOC working modes are developed based on the relationship. Then, the optimal scheduling model of the VPP participating in the energy and reserve joint market is proposed based on the two-stage robust optimization theory. The system operator reserve demand is used to describe the uncertainty of the transactions between VPP and reserve market. Finally, the column and constraint generation (C&CG) algorithm is used to solve the two-stage robust scheduling model. The simulation results show that RSOC can effectively promote renewable energy consumption and improve the VPP operating profit. Where, the operating profit can be increased by 46.5 % and the wind power consumption rate can be increased by 3.4 %, compared with the non-hydrogen VPP. Furthermore, compared with the traditional conversion equipment, RSOC can increase the VPP operating profit by 2.3 % and the wind power consumption rate by 1.85 %.
