This paper proposes a new multi-objective solution approach for generation scheduling problem, Abstract- known as unit commitment, of the Northeast power system (NEPS) of Afghanistan with consideration of wind, solar and pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) system. The NEPS of Afghanistan is an isolated power system supplied by three sources, Afghanistan's own generation, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. Epsilon multi-objective genetic algorithm (ɛ-MOGA), along with Pareto optimality concept, is used for the system techno-economic optimization: to maximize power supply reliability and minimize the total operation of thermal units plus aggregate imports power tariff simultaneously. The performance of the optimal case under zero loss of power supply probability (LPSP) is also examined. The simulation results confirm the superiority of the suggested optimization scheme.

Optimal operation of pumped hydro energy storage in power system with large integration of photovolt...

August 2014

With the rapid development of photovoltaic (PV) generation the randomness and intermittence of PV generation evidently affect the secure and stable operation of power grid. A power supply reliability evaluation model is established to assess the impacts on grid-connected PV generation on power grid operation. It is proposed to improve power system reliability by pumped storage power station ... [Show full abstract] coordinated with grid-connected PV generation. Taking the minimized cost as the object, an optimal dispatching model of pumped storage power station is built, and the uncertainty of load demand, the uncertainty of PV generation output and the faults of traditional generating units are simulated by Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed dispatching model is solved by genetic algorithm combined with Tabu search. The feasibility of the proposed model and algorithm is validated by IEEE 24-bus system, and simulation results show that using the proposed method the reliability of power grid can be improved and the electric power surplus can be effectively coped with.

Capacity Expansion Pathways for a Wind and Solar Based Power Supply and the Impact of Advanced Techn...

January 2019 · Energies

Wind and solar PV have become the lowest-cost renewable alternatives and are expected to dominate the power supply matrix in many countries worldwide. However, wind and solar are inherently variable renewable energy sources (vRES) and their characteristics pose new challenges for power systems and for the transition to a renewable energy-based power supply. Using new options for the integration ... [Show full abstract] of high shares of vRES is therefore crucial. In order to assess these options, we model the expansion pathways of wind power and solar photovoltaics (solar PV) capacities and their impact on the renewable share in a case study for Germany. Therefore, a numerical optimization approach is applied on temporally resolved generation and consumption time series data to identify the most efficient and fastest capacity expansion pathways. In addition to conventional layouts of wind and solar PV, our model includes advanced, system-friendly technology layouts in combination with electric energy storage from existing pumped hydro storage as promising integration options. The results provide policy makers with useful insights for technology-specific capacity expansion as we identified potentials to reduce costs and infrastructural requirements in the form of power grids and electric energy storage, and to accelerate the transition to a fully renewable power sector.

Techno-energy-economic assessment of a high capacity offshore wind-pumped-storage hybrid power syste...

September 2021 · Journal of Energy Storage

Developing offshore wind power—one of the most promising renewable energy sources—is considered to be an effective measure by China to promote energy transformation and achieve carbon neutrality. The integration of offshore wind with energy storage facilities can improve wind energy opportunities and mitigate the disharmony between energy generation and supply. This study develops a mathematical ... [Show full abstract] model to optimise a high capacity offshore wind-pumped-storage hybrid power system with Non-dominant Sorting Genetic Algorithm with Elite Strategy (NSGA-Ⅱ). We optimised various objects and compared the results. The results showed that the positive effects of increased electricity sales revenue could not always balance the negative effects of increased investments after configuring energy storage. Moreover, the simulation of the pumping state, discharging state, and state of charge (SOC) examined the system performance. The annual energy distribution analysed quantitively the reservoirs utilisation frequency and energy utilisation efficiency, which revealed the effect of design variables on pumping and discharging operation. Additionally, the effects of system stability constraints and load demand levels on the economic benefits, system performance, and CO2 emission reduction were compared and analysed. The adaptability of the optimal configurations to high load demand was tested. Finally, the sensitivity analysis provided clear guidance on external financial parameters for subsidy backslope.

Energy storage system operation: Case studies in deterministic and stochastic environments

September 2016

As more renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, etc.) are being incorporated into the smart grid, the problem of balancing generation and load demand gets more attention in the field of power system optimal economic operation. As a solution, grid-level energy storage systems (ESSs) have been used to increase the efficiency of the power supply by smoothing load fluctuations. In this paper, ... [Show full abstract] monotone adaptive dynamic programming (MADP) is investigated for the optimal operation of ESSs. MADP is capable of solving optimal policies for time-dependent and finite-horizon energy storage problems. Six types of real-world ESSs, with different storage capacities, charging/discharging rates, and efficiencies are compared under energy storage optimal benchmark problems. Simulation results discuss the impact of ESS parameters on the total revenue. The robust performance of the algorithm is also validated for both deterministic and stochastic energy storage benchmark problems.
