Abstract

Grid integration of renewable resources such as solar and wind energy can significantly raise the level of uncertainty in power systems, making the scheduled operation of generating units difficult. Therefore, the importance of operating reserves is more emphasized to prevent disruption by sudden changes in outputs of generators. In this paper, a stochastic unit commitment (UC) model to reflect uncertainty due to a large amount of renewable resources is proposed, in which upward and downward operating reserves are deployed simultaneously, and feasibility of the reserves is examined to make the deployed reserves supplied reliably. Uncertain parameters considered in the model are wind power availability, solar direct normal irradiance, and electric load. Two-stage stochastic programming is applied to the mathematical formulation, where UC decisions including dispatch are modeled as non-anticipative variables at the first stage, and redispatch decisions to serve realized electric demand are made at the second stage as recourse. By solving the UC problem, feasible and reliable stochastic UC and dispatch solutions can be provided to power system operators.
