With the potential of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production to increase the efficiency of power and heat generation simultaneously having been researched and established, the increasing penetration of CHP systems, and determination of economic dispatch of power and heat assumes higher relevance.

文摘Virtual power plants can effectively integrate different types of distributed energy resources,which have become a new operation mode with substantial advantages such as high flexibility,adaptability,and economy.This paper proposes a distributionally robust optimal dispatch approach for virtual power plants to determine an optimal day-ahead dispatch under uncertainties of renewable energy sources.The proposed distributionally robust approach characterizes probability distributions of renewable power output by moments.In this regard,the faults of stochastic optimization and traditional robust optimization can be overcome.Firstly,a second-order cone-based ambiguity set that incorporates the first and second moments of renewable power output is constructed,and a day-ahead two-stage distributionally robust optimization model is proposed for virtual power plants participating in day-ahead electricity markets.Then,an effective solution method based on the affine policy and second-order cone duality theory is employed to reformulate the proposed model into a deterministic mixed-integer second-order cone programming problem,which improves the computational efficiency of the model.Finally,the numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a better balance between robustness and economy.They also validate that the dispatch strategy of virtual power plants can be adjusted to reduce costs according to the moment information of renewable power output.
文摘This paper presents the solution to the combined heat and power economic dispatch problem using a direct solution algorithm for constrained optimization problems. With the potential of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production to increase the efficiency of power and heat generation simultaneously having been researched and established, the increasing penetration of CHP systems, and determination of economic dispatch of power and heat assumes higher relevance. The Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch (CHPED) problem is a demanding optimization problem as both constraints and objective functions can be non-linear and non-convex. This paper presents an explicit formula developed for computing the system-wide incremental costs corresponding with optimal dispatch. The circumvention of the use of iterative search schemes for this crucial step is the innovation inherent in the proposed dispatch procedure. The feasible operating region of the CHP unit three is taken into account in the proposed CHPED problem model, whereas the optimal dispatch of power/heat outputs of CHP unit is determined using the direct Lagrange multiplier solution algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to a test system with four units and results are provided.

文摘The optimal dispatch of energy storage systems(ESSs)in distribution networks poses significant challenges,primarily due to uncertainties of dynamic pricing,fluctuating demand,and the variability inherent in renewable energy sources.By exploiting the generalization capabilities of deep neural networks(DNNs),the deep reinforcement learning(DRL)algorithms can learn good-quality control models that adapt to the stochastic nature of distribution networks.Nevertheless,the practical deployment of DRL algorithms is often hampered by their limited capacity for satisfying operational constraints in real time,which is a crucial requirement for ensuring the reliability and feasibility of control actions during online operations.This paper introduces an innovative framework,named mixed-integer programming based deep reinforcement learning(MIP-DRL),to overcome these limitations.The proposed MIP-DRL framework can rigorously enforce operational constraints for the optimal dispatch of ESSs during the online execution.This framework involves training a Q-function with DNNs,which is subsequently represented in a mixed-integer programming(MIP)formulation.This unique combination allows for the seamless integration of operational constraints into the decision-making process.The effectiveness of the proposed MIP-DRL framework is validated through numerical simulations,demonstrating its superior capability to enforce all operational constraints and achieve high-quality dispatch decisions and showing its advantage over existing DRL algorithms.

文摘Proton exchange membrane(PEM)electrolyzer(EL)is regarded as a promising technology for hydrogen generation,offering load flexibility for electric grids(EGs),especially those with a high penetration of renewable energy(RE)sources.This paper proposes a PEM-focused economic dispatch strategy for EG integrated with wind-electrolysis systems.Existing strategies commonly assume a constant efficiency coefficient to model the EL,while the proposed strategy incorporates a bottom-up PEM EL model characterized by a part-load efficiency curve,which accurately represents the nonlinear hydrogen production performance,capturing efficiency variations at different loads.To model this,it first establishes a 0D electrochemical model to derive the polarization curve.Next,it accounts for the hydrogen and oxygen crossover phenomena,represented by the Faraday efficiency,to correct the stack efficiency curve.Finally,it includes the power consumption of ancillary equipment to obtain the nonlinear part-load system efficiency.This strategy is validated using the PJM-5 bus test system with coal-fired generators(CFGs)and is compared with a simple EL model using constant efficiency under three scenarios.The results show that the EL modeling method significantly influences both the dispatch outcome and the economic performance.Sensitivity analyses on coal and hydrogen prices indicate that,for this case study,the proposed strategy is economically advantageous when the coal price is below 121.6$/tonne.Additionally,the difference in total annual operating cost between using the efficiency curve anda constant efficiency to model becomes apparent when the hydrogen price ranges from 2.9 to 5.4$/kg.

文摘Peer-to-peer(P2P)energy trading in active distribution networks(ADNs)plays a pivotal role in promoting the efficient consumption of renewable energy sources.However,it is challenging to effectively coordinate the power dispatch of ADNs and P2P energy trading while preserving the privacy of different physical interests.Hence,this paper proposes a soft actor-critic algorithm incorporating distributed trading control(SAC-DTC)to tackle the optimal power dispatch of ADNs and the P2P energy trading considering privacy preservation among prosumers.First,the soft actor-critic(SAC)algorithm is used to optimize the control strategy of device in ADNs to minimize the operation cost,and the primary environmental information of the ADN at this point is published to prosumers.Then,a distributed generalized fast dual ascent method is used to iterate the trading process of prosumers and maximize their revenues.Subsequently,the results of trading are encrypted based on the differential privacy technique and returned to the ADN.Finally,the social welfare value consisting of ADN operation cost and P2P market revenue is utilized as a reward value to update network parameters and control strategies of the deep reinforcement learning.Simulation results show that the proposed SAC-DTC algorithm reduces the ADN operation cost,boosts the P2P market revenue,maximizes the social welfare,and exhibits high computational accuracy,demonstrating its practical application to the operation of power systems and power markets.

文摘Time series foundation models provide a universal solution for generating forecasts to support optimization problems in energy systems.Those foundation models are typically trained in a prediction-focused manner to maximize forecast quality.In contrast,decision-focused learning directly improves the resulting value of the forecast in downstream optimization rather than merely maximizing forecasting quality.The practical integration of forecast values into forecasting models is challenging,particularly when addressing complex applications with diverse instances,such as buildings.This becomes even more complicated when instances possess specific characteristics that require instance-specific,tailored predictions to increase the forecast value.To tackle this challenge,we use decision-focused fine-tuning within time series foundation models to offer a scalable and efficient solution for decision-focused learning applied to the dispatchable feeder optimization problem.To obtain more robust predictions for scarce building data,we use Moirai as a state-of-the-art foundation model,which offers robust and generalized results with few-shot parameter-efficient fine-tuning.Comparing the decision-focused fine-tuned Moirai with a state-of-the-art classical prediction-focused fine-tuning Moirai,we observe an improvement of 9.45%in Average Daily Total Costs.
