Robust Optimal Dispatch of Power Systems with Wind Farm

With the rapid development of new energy power generation, large-scale wind power generation has been integrated into power grids. However, the fluctuation and discontinuity of wind power pose challenges to the safe and reliable operation of power systems. Therefore, constructing a reasonable dispatching method to manage the uncertainty of wind power outputhas become an important topic and this study was structured with this precise aim in mind. An ellipsoidal robust set of wind power outputs was initially constructed in accordance with the predicted value and predicted error of wind power. Second, a power system optimization dispatch model of automatic generation control (AGC) was established on the basis of the robust set. This model aimed to minimize the cost of power generation and maximize the use of wind power according to the following constraint conditions: power system power balance, upper andlower limit of wind and thermal power unit outputs, climbing power, and spinning reserve. Finally, the internal point method was employed to solve the example. Results show that, on the premise of safe operation, the total operating cost of the robust optimization dispatch method is decreased by 8.64% compared with that of the traditional dispatch method, and economic efficiency is improved. Robust optimal dispatch factors in the uncertainty of wind power output meaning the load shedding scenario seldom occurs, thereby enhancing operational reliability. This study can be used to improve the reliability and economics of power system operation and provide a basis for optimizing dispatch in power systems.
