Mechanism Design for Ancillary Service Market Considering Social Welfare and Fairness

Increasing penetration of distributed energy resources in the distribution network(DN)is threatening safe operation of the DN,which necessitates setup of the ancillary service market in the DN.In the ancillary service market,distribution system operator(DSO)is responsible for safety of the DN by procuring available capacities of aggregators.Unlike existing studies,this paper proposes a novel market mechanism composed of two parts:choice rule and payment rule.The proposed choice rule simultaneously considers social welfare and fairness,encouraging risk-averse aggregators to participate in the ancillary service market.It is then formulated as a linear programming problem,and a distributed solution using the multi-cut Benders decomposition is presented.Moreover,successful implementation of the choice rule depends on each aggregator’s truthful adoption of private parameters.Therefore,a payment rule is also designed,which is proved to possess two properties:incentive compatibility and individual rationality.Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed choice rule on improving fairness and verify properties of the payment rule.

Evaluation index system of shared energy storage market towards renewable energy accommodation scenario:A China’s Qinghai province context

With the ever-increased installed capacity of renewable energy generation units in a power system,the so-called shared energy storage(SES),a novel business model under the umbrella of the shared economy principle,has the potential to play an essential role in the accommodation of renewable energy generation.However,unified evaluation standards and methods,which can help decision-makers analyze the performance of the SES market,are still not available.In this paper,an evaluation index system of the SES market is designed based on the trading rules of China’s Qinghai province and the structure-conduct-performance(SCP)analytical model.Moreover,the definition and characteristics of the indices,which can show the performance of the SES market from different perspectives,are given.Furthermore,the ideal cases are presented as the evaluation benchmark based on the development expectation of the SES market,and the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution(TOPSIS)are applied to evaluate the SES market comprehensively.Finally,a case study based on actual data of the SES trading pilot project in Qinghai shows that the evaluation index system can reflect the operation status,existing problems and influencing factors of the SES market.

Energy-Related Services as a Business:Eco-Transformation Logic to Support the Low-Carbon Transition

The transition to low-carbon development has been recognized as one of the most important directions for the transformation of national economies in most countries.Today we can identify two of the most common service-oriented logical models of this transition.These are models of Service-Dominant Logic and Product-Service Systems that are used in this study to create a service-oriented platformfor stimulating business development in the field of energy-related(ER)services.The establishment of such a platform is being considered based on the conceptual provisions of the global business ecosystem.Such a platform has been found to be a powerful tool for systemic coordinated cooperation between actors in the ER-services market and the relevant actors in the energy sector as well as in other industrial markets,unleashing the benefits of synergies,resulting from such cooperation.The logical models of attracting energy services companies to the creation of virtual communities(centers)for large-scale implementation of measures in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources are presented in detail.The advantages of the practical implementation of logicalmodels are confirmed by calculations performed onmathematicalmodel adapted for engineering use in the field of ER-services.

The active distribution network(ADN)is able to manage distributed generators(DGs),active loads and storage facilities actively.It is also capable of purchasing electricity from main grid and providing ancillary services through a flexible dispatching mode.A competitive market environment is beneficial for the exploration of ADN’s activeness in optimizing dispatch and bidding strategy.In a bilateral electricity market,the decision variables such as bid volume and price can influence the market clearing price(MCP).The MCP can also have impacts on the dispatch strategy of ADN at the same time.This paper proposes a bilevel coordinate dispatch model with fully consideration of the information interaction between main grid and ADN.Simulation results on a typical ADN validate the feasibility of the proposed method.A balanced proportion between energy market and ancillary services market can be achieved.

MILP Optimization Model for Assessing the Participation of Distributed Residential PV-battery Systems in Ancillary Services Market

A novel non-linear stochastic method based on a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming(MILP)optimization model is proposed to optimally manage a high number of photovoltaic(PV)-battery systems for the provision of up and down regulation in the ancillary services market.This method,considers both the technical constraints of the power system,and those of the equipment used by all the prosumers.This allows an aggregator of many residential prosumers endowed with photovoltaic(PV)-battery systems to evaluate the baseline of the aggregate by minimizing the costs related to the electrical energy absorbed from the grid and then to assess the up and down flexibility curves with relative offer prices.As confirmed by simulation results carried out considering different realistic case studies,the method can effectively be used by an aggregator to evaluate the economic impact of its participation in the ancillary services market,both for the aggregator and for its prosumers.
