A Method for Determining the Economical Operation and Introduction Schedules of Dispersed Co-generation Sources Considering Energy Storage System

摘要

This paper presents an algorithm for determining an economical operation and introduction schedules of dispersed cogeneration sources in electric power systems considering energy storage systems (ESS). Generally, it is considered that ESS plays some important roles. More specifically, it works as a buffer for regulating the time gap between electric load and thermal load, and also as alternative peaking units. First, this paper defines an index of representing a possibility for introduction of the ESS considering thermal merits of FC system.
