Frequency Reserve Within Unit Commitment Considering Spinning Reserve Uncertainty

摘要

Various technical limitations of generating units and ancillary services requirements have more complicated the power generation control and operation. This paper introduces a novel methodology for day-ahead unit commitment, which is a crucial challenge in restructured power systems, considering primary frequency control reserve. In addition, also spinning reserve uncertainty as a practical constraint has been taken into account. In this paper, we formulate and solve simultaneous scheduling of energy and primary reserve as a mixed integer non linear programming problem that simultaneously accounts aforementioned constraints. In proposed formulation, system frequency is allowed to fall from nominal value to a critical specified limit.Finally, the proposed approach is implemented to the scheduling of a 17-unit isolated power system over 24-hours. Case studies and numerical results present significant outcomes and verify the robustness of the proposed method, while it creates a schedule consistent with the primary frequency control and spinning reserve uncertainty.
