We propose a stochastic model for the daily operation scheduling of a generation system including pumped storage hydro plants and wind power plants, where the uncertainty is represented by the hourly wind power production. In order to assess the value of the stochastic modeling, we discuss two case studies: in the former the scenario tree is built so as to include both low and high wind power p...

The use of photovoltaic (PV) generation forecasts in economic load dispatching control (EDC), which includes the unit commitment (UC) of conventional power plants, is essential to ensure the economic performance and the reliability of power systems. In the previous study, we developed a day-ahead charge and discharge scheduling method of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) based on interval ...

The variable and intermittent nature of many renewable energy sources makes integrating them into the electric grid challenging and limits their penetration. The current grid requires expensive, largescale energy storage and peaker plants to match such supplies to conventional loads. We present an alternative solution, in which supply-following loads adjust their power consumption to match the ...

This paper demonstrates the use of model-based predictive control for energy storage systems to improve the dispatchability of wind power plants. Large-scale wind penetration increases the variability of power flow on the grid, thus increasing reserve requirements. Large energy storage systems collocated with wind farms can improve dispatchability of the wind plant by storing energy during gene...

Unlike the existing views that was introduced the existence of delay caused by the transmission of wide area measurement system data (WAMS) into the controllers input of the power oscilation damping (POD) by communication networks as a reason for poor performance of the POD controllers. This paper shows that the presence of time delay in the feedback loop may improve the performance of a POD co...

in the sector of electricity production, the existence of investment resources limitation and environmental factors are the main factors that influence this process. the reduction of costs and the destructive impacts of environmental have been always mentioned by specialists. consequently, the drasticality of the environmental protection and the electric-energy production lead to focus on solar...
