Security constrained unit commitment with flexibility in natural gas transmission delivery

摘要

This paper presents a formulation of fuzzy optimization for uncertainties in natural gas in fuel constraints for hourly individual unit and total unit fuel consumptions. Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) is usually a mixed integer programming and gas load flow has a non-linear equation a genetic algorithm is proposed to solve natural gas transmission network. A fuzzy mixed integer programming optimization is briefly discussed and adapted to deal with security constrained unit commitment schedule. Finally, two case studies are investigated (IEEE 6-bus system with 7-node natural gas transmission grid and the IEEE 118-bus power system linked with 14-node gas transmission test system) and the SCUC results are discussed and compared for the both cases of fuzzy constraints and crisp model.
