Flexible Robust Optimization Dispatch for Hybrid Wind/Photovoltaic/Hydro/Thermal Power System

摘要

With sustained growth of intermittent power supplies connected to grid, the randomness and volatility of intermittent power supplies will bring new challenges to power system optimization dispatch. For dealing with the uncertainty of large-scale intermittent power supply, this paper introduces robust optimization theory into optimization dispatch for hybrid wind/photovoltaic/hydro/thermal power systems. Meanwhile in order to make an ideal compromise between reliability and economy of system dispatch, this paper also introduces concept of uncertainty to cover shortcoming of conventional robust optimization which is conservative. A flexible robust optimization with adjustable uncertainty budget dispatch model is built for hybrid power system to achieve coordination between reliability and economy, and then the uncertainty budget decision methods are studied to reduce blindness of uncertainty budget decisions. Moreover, a new compound differential evolution (CDE) algorithm is designed in this paper. The diversity of individuals and convergence speed are taken into account in process of differential evolution (DE) calculation by introducing a series of operations into DE algorithm, such as individual ranking, population dividing, CDE, and population restructuring. Finally, a sample application is carried out to verify the validity and practicability of the model and the method.
