The large amount of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in the power industry is a major source of global warming effect. An efficient and economic approach to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions is to formulate the emission reduction problem as emission dispatch problem and combined with power system economic dispatch (ED). Because the traditional optimal power flow (OPF) model used by the economic dispatch is nonlinear and nonconvex, current nonlinear solvers are not able to find the global optimal solutions. In this paper, we use the convex optimal power flow model to formulate the combined economic and emission dispatch problem. The advantage of using convex power flow model is that global optimal solutions can be obtained by using mature industrial strength nonlinear solvers such as MOSEK. Numerical results of various IEEE power network test cases confirm the feasibility and advantage of convex combined economic and emission dispatch (CCEED).展开更多

The nonlinear LCC model brings additional nonconvexity to optimal power flow (OPF) of hybrid AC-DC power grids. A convexification method for the LCC station model could address such nonconvexity but has rarely been discussed. We devise an equivalent reformulation for classical LCC station models that facilitates second-order cone convex relaxation for the OPF of LCC-based AC-DC power grids. We also propose sufficient conditions for exactness of convex relaxation with its proof. Equivalence of the proposed LCC station models and properties, exactness, and effectiveness of convex relaxation are verified using four numerical simulations. Simulation results demonstrate a globally optimal solution of the original OPF can be efficiently obtained from relaxed model.展开更多

We find that the states triggering the transition are different in the three cases, but show the same scaling with Reynolds number.展开更多

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is proposed to enhance power quality in three-phase systems under various loads. This paper aimed to compensate the voltage sags under various faults in the grid systems. The SMES is selected as an energy storage unit to improve the capability of voltage sag compensation. Optimized Dual Fuzzy Flow (ODFF) logic controller is designed to prevent the voltage sag time during excessive phase voltage variation. Hence the proposed controller strategy reduces the total harmonic distortion during various fault conditions. To regulate the contribution of active power, the least possible value is improved using ODFF. The depth of voltage sags compensation is achieved by the over modulation and an iterative loop is designed in the control block. While protecting sensitive loads from voltage disturbances, and sags initiated by the power system, the proposed configuration is advantageous for an industrial implementation. It is found that the proposed method can result in more than 50% additional sag support time when compared with the previous methods such as PI and PSO. Utilizing MATLAB Simulink, compensation of sag and minimization of THD is established, and the simulation tests are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed control method.展开更多

Mobile emergency sources can be quickly and flexibly connected to supply energy after an energy outage to ensure a reliable supply to the system, which adds complexity to the decision. This study focuses on a powergas IES with mobile emergency sources and analyzes the coupling relationship between the gas distribution system and the power distribution system in terms of sources, networks, and loads, and the influence of mobile emergency source transportation. The influence of the transient process caused by the restoration operation of the gas distribution system on the power distribution system is also discussed. An optimization model for power-gas IES restoration was established with the objective of maximizing the net income. The coordinated restoration optimization decision-making process was also built to realize the decoupling iteration of the power-gas IES, including system status recognition, mobile emergency source dispatching optimization, gas-to-power gas flow optimization, and parallel intra-partition restoration scheme optimization for both the power and gas distribution systems. A simulation test power-gas IES consisting of an 81-node medium-voltage power distribution network, an 89-node medium-pressure gas distribution network, and four mobile emergency sources was constructed. The simulation analysis verified the efficiency of the proposed coordinated restoration optimization method.展开更多

In this paper, an optimal energy flow(OEF) model for a CCHP-CMG using parameterized probability boxes(p-boxes) is proposed to describe the higher-order uncertainty of renewables and loads. In the model, chance constraints are used to describe the secure operation limits of the state variable p-boxes, and variance constraints are introduced to reduce their random fluctuation ranges. To solve this model, the chance and variance constraints are transformed into the constraints of interval cumulants(ICs) of state variables based on the p-efficient point theory and interval Cornish-Fisher expansion. With the relationship between the ICs of state variables and node power, and using the affine interval arithmetic method, the original optimization model is finally transformed into a deterministic nonlinear programming model. It can be solved by the CONOPT solver in GAMS software to obtain the optimal operation point of a CCHP-CMG that satisfies the secure operation requirements considering the higher-order uncertainty of renewables and loads. Case study on a CCHP-CMG demonstrates the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed OEF model.展开更多

Current industrial practice in optimal power flow for electric power systems has not taken the security constraints of gas systems into consideration, resulting in an overly-optimistic solution. Meanwhile, the operation of electric power and natural gas systems is coupled over multiple periods because of the ramp rate limits of power generators and the slow dynamical characteristics of gas systems. Based on these motivations, we propose a multi-period integrated natural gas and electric power system probabilistic optimal power flow(M-GEPOPF) model, which includes dynamic gas flow models. To address the uncertainties originating from wind power and load forecasting, a probabilistic optimal power flow(POPF) calculation based on a three-point estimate method(3 PEM) is adopted. Moreover, power-togas(Pt G) units are employed to avoid wind power curtailment and enable flexible bi-directional energy flows between the coupled energy systems. An integrated IEEE RTS 24-bus electric power system and the Belgian 20-node natural gas system are employed as a test case to verify the applicability of the proposed M-GEPOPF model, and to demonstrate the potential economic benefits of Pt G units.展开更多

文摘In an integrated energy system(IES) composed of multiple subsystems, energy coupling causes an energy supply blockage or shutdown in one subsystem, thereby affecting the energy flow distribution optimization of other subsystems.The energy supply should be globally optimized during the IES energy supply restoration process to produce the highest restoration net income. Mobile emergency sources can be quickly and flexibly connected to supply energy after an energy outage to ensure a reliable supply to the system, which adds complexity to the decision. This study focuses on a powergas IES with mobile emergency sources and analyzes the coupling relationship between the gas distribution system and the power distribution system in terms of sources, networks, and loads, and the influence of mobile emergency source transportation. The influence of the transient process caused by the restoration operation of the gas distribution system on the power distribution system is also discussed. An optimization model for power-gas IES restoration was established with the objective of maximizing the net income. The coordinated restoration optimization decision-making process was also built to realize the decoupling iteration of the power-gas IES, including system status recognition, mobile emergency source dispatching optimization, gas-to-power gas flow optimization, and parallel intra-partition restoration scheme optimization for both the power and gas distribution systems. A simulation test power-gas IES consisting of an 81-node medium-voltage power distribution network, an 89-node medium-pressure gas distribution network, and four mobile emergency sources was constructed. The simulation analysis verified the efficiency of the proposed coordinated restoration optimization method.

文摘This paper introduces an AC stochastic optimal power flow(SOPF)for the flexibility management of electric vehicle(EV)charging pools in distribution networks under uncertainty.The AC SOPF considers discrete utility functions from charging pools as a compensation mechanism for eventual energy not served to their charging tasks.An application of the AC SOPF is described where a distribution system operator(DSO)requires flexibility to each charging pool in a day-ahead time frame,minimizing the cost for flexibility while guaranteeing technical limits.Flexibility areas are defined for each charging pool and calculated as a function of a risk parameter involving the uncertainty of the solution.Results show that all players can benefit from this approach,i.e.,the DSO obtains a riskaware solution,while charging pools/tasks perceive a reduction in the total energy payment due to flexibility services.

文摘Due to the uncertain fluctuations of renewable energy and load power, the state variables such as bus voltages and pipeline mass flows in the combined cooling, heating, and power campus microgrid(CCHP-CMG) may exceed the secure operation limits. In this paper, an optimal energy flow(OEF) model for a CCHP-CMG using parameterized probability boxes(p-boxes) is proposed to describe the higher-order uncertainty of renewables and loads. In the model, chance constraints are used to describe the secure operation limits of the state variable p-boxes, and variance constraints are introduced to reduce their random fluctuation ranges. To solve this model, the chance and variance constraints are transformed into the constraints of interval cumulants(ICs) of state variables based on the p-efficient point theory and interval Cornish-Fisher expansion. With the relationship between the ICs of state variables and node power, and using the affine interval arithmetic method, the original optimization model is finally transformed into a deterministic nonlinear programming model. It can be solved by the CONOPT solver in GAMS software to obtain the optimal operation point of a CCHP-CMG that satisfies the secure operation requirements considering the higher-order uncertainty of renewables and loads. Case study on a CCHP-CMG demonstrates the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed OEF model.

文摘As wind farms are commonly installed in areas with abundant wind resources,spatial dependence of wind speed among nearby wind farms should be considered when modeling a power system with large-scale wind power.In this paper,a novel bivariate non-parametric copula,and a bivariate diffusive kernel(BDK)copula are proposed to formulate the dependence between random variables.BDK copula is then applied to higher dimension using the pair-copula method and is named as pair diffusive kernel(PDK)copula,offering flexibility to formulate the complicated dependent structure of multiple random variables.Also,a quasi-Monte Carlo method is elaborated in the sampling procedure based on the combination of the Sobol sequence and the Rosen-blatt transformation of the PDK copula,to generate correlated wind speed samples.The proposed method is applied to solve probabilistic optimal power flow(POPF)problems.The effectiveness of the BDK copula is validated in copula definitions.Then,three different data sets are used in various goodness-of-fit tests to verify the superior performance of the PDK copula,which facilitates in formulating the dependence structure of wind speeds at different wind farms.Furthermore,samples obtained from the PDK copula are used to solve POPF problems,which are modeled on three modified IEEE 57-bus power systems.Compared to the Gaussian,T,and parametric-pair copulas,the results obtained from the PDK copula are superior in formulating the complicated dependence,thus solving POPF problems.

文摘As extreme weather events have become more frequent in recent years,improving the resilience and reliability of power systems has become an important area of concern.In this paper,a robust preventive-corrective security-constrained optimal power flow(RO-PCSCOPF)model is proposed to improve power system reliability under N−k outages.Both the short-term emergency limit(STL)and the long-term operating limit(LTL)of the post-contingency power flow on the branch are considered.Compared with the existing robust corrective SCOPF model that only considers STL or LTL,the proposed ROPCSCOPF model can achieve a more reliable generation dispatch solution.In addition,this paper also summarizes and compares the solution methods for solving the N−k SCOPF problem.The computational efficiency of the classical Benders decomposition(BD)method,robust optimization(RO)method,and line outage distribution factor(LODF)method are investigated on the IEEE 24-bus Reliability Test System and 118-bus system.Simulation results show that the BD method has the worst computation performance.The RO method and the LODF method have comparable performance.However,the LODF method can only be used for the preventive SCOPF and not for the corrective SCOPF.The RO method can be used for both.

文摘Transition towards carbon-neutral power systems has necessitated optimization of power dispatch in active distribution networks(ADNs)to facilitate integration of distributed renewable generation.Due to unavailability of network topology and line impedance in many distribution networks,physical model-based methods may not be applicable to their operations.To tackle this challenge,some studies have proposed constraint learning,which replicates physical models by training a neural network to evaluate feasibility of a decision(i.e.,whether a decision satisfies all critical constraints or not).To ensure accuracy of this trained neural network,training set should contain sufficient feasible and infeasible samples.However,since ADNs are mostly operated in a normal status,only very few historical samples are infeasible.Thus,the historical dataset is highly imbalanced,which poses a significant obstacle to neural network training.To address this issue,we propose an enhanced constraint learning method.First,it leverages constraint learning to train a neural network as surrogate of ADN's model.Then,it introduces Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique to generate infeasible samples to mitigate imbalance of historical dataset.By incorporating historical and synthetic samples into the training set,we can significantly improve accuracy of neural network.Furthermore,we establish a trust region to constrain and thereafter enhance reliability of the solution.Simulations confirm the benefits of the proposed method in achieving desirable optimality and feasibility while maintaining low computational complexity.

文摘The increasing adoption of gas-fired power plants directly strengthens the coupling between electric power and natural gas systems. Current industrial practice in optimal power flow for electric power systems has not taken the security constraints of gas systems into consideration, resulting in an overly-optimistic solution. Meanwhile, the operation of electric power and natural gas systems is coupled over multiple periods because of the ramp rate limits of power generators and the slow dynamical characteristics of gas systems. Based on these motivations, we propose a multi-period integrated natural gas and electric power system probabilistic optimal power flow(M-GEPOPF) model, which includes dynamic gas flow models. To address the uncertainties originating from wind power and load forecasting, a probabilistic optimal power flow(POPF) calculation based on a three-point estimate method(3 PEM) is adopted. Moreover, power-togas(Pt G) units are employed to avoid wind power curtailment and enable flexible bi-directional energy flows between the coupled energy systems. An integrated IEEE RTS 24-bus electric power system and the Belgian 20-node natural gas system are employed as a test case to verify the applicability of the proposed M-GEPOPF model, and to demonstrate the potential economic benefits of Pt G units.

文摘Green energy is driving the evolutions of energy industry and carbon emission is becoming an important concern.Considering the increasing couplings among various energy sectors,this paper investigates multi-period optimal energy flow and energy pricing in carbon-emission embedded integrated energy systems,including electricity,natural gas,and district heating networks.Firstly,an optimal scheduling model of integrated energy systems was proposed in this paper.The models of DC power flow,natural gas pipeline flow and heating network energy flow are presented and linearized for the optimization problem.Natural gas-fired generators and combined heat and power(CHP)units are modeled as coupling components of electricitygas and electricity-heating networks.Then,based on the optimal scheduling model,the locational marginal prices(LMP)for electricity,natural gas and heating network are determined.Moreover,the carbon emission caused by energy production has been taken into account in the optimal scheduling and energy pricing process.Finally,case studies on a combined network consisting of IEEE 39-bus system,Belgium 20-node natural gas system and 6-node heating system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and the impacts of carbon emission on system scheduling and LMP.
