In order to deal with the uncertainties of wind power, wind farm and electric vehicle (EV) battery switch station (BSS) were proposed to work together as an integrated system. In this paper, the collaborative scheduling problems of such a system were studied. Considering the features of the integrated system, three indices, which include battery swapping demand curtailment of BSS, wind curtailm...

Microgrid (MG) is a combination of distributed generators (DGs), energy storage systems (ESSs), and loads connected to distribution network that can either be in islanded mode or grid-tied mode. Similarly, multi-microgrid (MMG) system number interconnected MGs with larger complex network. Recently, the MMG management has created new challenges due inherent intermittency, uncertainty, probabilis...

Energy storage systems (ESS) may provide the required flexibility to cost-effectively integrate weather-dependent renewable generation, in particular by offering operating reserves. However, since real-time deployment of these services is uncertain, ensuring their availability requires merchant ESS fully reserve associated energy capacity day-ahead schedule. To improve such conservative policie...

To alleviate the emission of greenhouse gas and the dependence on fossil fuel, Plug-in Hybrid Electrical Vehicles (PHEVs) have gained an increasing popularity in current decades. Due to the fluctuating electricity prices in the power market, a charging schedule is very influential to driving cost. Although the next-day electricity prices can be obtained in a day-ahead power market, a driving pl...

The uncertainty and volatility of renewable energy generation lead to large amounts abandoned electricity. electricity-hydrogen coupling microgrid (EHCM) consists the proton exchange membrane electrolytic cell (PEMEC), liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) storage, fuel (PEMFC). structure helps increase utilization wind photovoltaic power. scheduling an EHCM is very challenging. This paper pro...

We consider a day-ahead electricity market where a central operator forecasts the dayahead demands and where there may be some price elasticity. The day-ahead market clears based on the day-ahead bids. There is also a real-time deviations market, which clears the difference between the day-ahead demand and the real-time demand, which is modeled as a random variable. We observe that in the absen...
