Optimal weekly operation scheduling on pumped storage hydro power plant and storage battery considering reserve margin with a large penetration of renewable energy

摘要

In recent years, a large amount of renewable energy (RE) based power generations such as Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind Turbine (WT) have been installed in power systems. However, these generations pose many challenges to the power system operation, because the power output from the RE is random and intermittent in nature. In this paper, a new method for scheduling effective operating patterns for Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant (PSHPP) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) using the predicted values of the RE generation is presented and its effectiveness is checked by numerical simulations on a model power system.
