GOALI: Intelligent Leader Follower Systems for Control of Energy Services

[01:18 . 80]加利福尼亚电力能源市场的崩溃使我们必须认识到，由于电力生产、传输和分配网络的固有特征，由利润驱动的市场力量不能保证安全可靠的能源供应。没有其他系统，如运输、天然气配送、航空、卡车运输，会因为其中一个组件的维护而导致停机而导致价格上涨。因此，电力市场的设计必须使市场参与者的利润动机与系统的安全性和可靠性相匹配。这项建议将研究这一问题，并利用适当的市场结构提出可能的解决办法。俄亥俄州立大学（OSU）、伊利诺伊理工大学（lIT）、ABB能源信息系统（ABB）和Perot系统公司（PS）将进行系统博弈论的基础研究，为电力服务计划运营开发新的市场结构。pi提议开发算法来创建一个高效、可靠、安全的能源市场，其中ISO作为市场领导者，同时也是具有激励功能的做市商，而追随者则为系统的稳定运行而竞争提供能源。该方法基于20世纪70年代开发的Stackelberg市场设计策略。我们将设计一个虚拟市场模拟器（VMS）来评估拟议的市场结构。VMS模拟器将用于每年按月、每月按周、每周按日、每天按小时、每小时按分钟直至AGC周期的系统运行评估。pi将使用VMS测试平台来证明基于领导者-追随者算法的市场可以获得能源和辅助服务市场的完美市场价格。为了实现这一目标，他们将利用ABB和PS系统在PJM和加州系统历史数据方面的知识，与工业合作伙伴ABB和PS合作开发VMS模拟器测试平台。在他们的VMS模拟器中，他们将构建基于神经网络的预测器来预测系统负荷中心（每月、每周、每天和每小时）的能源需求和时变成本。他们将为每一种类型的代制定一个激励函数，追随者必须满足他们的出价。激励功能将由领导者决定，考虑参与者的合理利润动机以及系统的安全性和可靠性。在这样的市场环境下，所有的市场参与者都会成为追随者。在拟议的市场结构中，领导者将利用他或她所控制的系统的知识，并将估计每种发电类型的生产成本。因此，领导者将有能力制定领导者-追随者优化策略，并为每种类型的发电系统设计合适的激励函数。同时，市场领导者可以根据国家电力局规定的安全性和可靠性，制定系统运行的成本函数。在这种市场结构下，国家电力局将制定总体能源政策，并建立一个拍卖市场，供市场主体在领导者-追随者市场结构下进行市场竞争。在我们的制定中，市场领导者的地位被分配给ISO。拟议工作的意义在于建立一种新的市场结构，使市场力量能够参与电力能源系统的发展，并在确保系统的可靠性和安全性的同时参与市场竞争。拟议的市场结构将允许州政府制定能源政策，并通过拟议的激励功能，鼓励公民参与其实施。拟议的市场结构还将有助于市场力量开发能源，因为它将消除规划工厂的不确定性，这些工厂可能面临传输瓶颈。能源用户也将受益于通过参与负荷响应计划降低能源成本，并确保可靠和安全的服务。

0118080KeyhaniThe collapse of the California electric energy market has made it imperative to recognize that market forces motivated by profit cannot guarantee a secure and reliable energy supply because of the inherent characteristics of electric energy production, transmission and distribution networks. No other systems, such as transportation, gas distribution, airline, trucking are subjected to high prices because of an outage due to maintenance of one of its components. Therefore, it is essential that the electricity market be designed such that the market players' profit motives will mesh with system security and reliability. This proposal will undertake the study of this problem and possible solutions using the appropriate market structure.The Ohio State University (OSU), Illinois Institute of Technology University (lIT), ABB Energy Information Systems (ABB) and Perot Systems (PS) will undertake fundamental research in system game theory to develop a new market structure for planned operation of electric energy services. The PIs propose to develop algorithms to create an efficient, reliable, and secure energy market with the ISO as a market leader who is also a market maker armed with incentive functions, and followers who compete to provide energy for stable operation of the system. The approach is based on the Stackelberg market design strategy developed in the 1970's. We will design a Virtual Market Simulator (VMS) to evaluate the proposed market structure. The VMS simulator will be used for evaluation of system operation yearly on monthly basis, monthly on a weekly basis, weekly on a daily basis, daily on an hourly basis, and hourly on a minute basis up to AGC cycle. The PIs will use the VMS test bed to demonstrate that a market based on leader- follower algorithms can attain perfect market prices for the energy and ancillary services markets. To achieve this goal, they will develop a VMS simulator test bed in collaboration with their industrial partners, ABB and PS, using ABB and PS Systems' knowledge of PJM and California systems historical data. In their VMS simulator, they will construct neural network based predictors to forecast energy demands and time-varying cost of the system load centers (monthly, weekly, daily and hourly). They will formulate an incentive function for each type of generation that the followers must satisfy in their bid prices. The incentive functions will be determined by the leader, taking into account the rational profit motives of the players as well as the system security and reliability. In such market environments, all market players will be followers. In the proposed market structure, the leader will use the knowledge of the systems that he or she is controlling and will estimate the production cost of each type of generation. The leader will thus have the ability to formulate leader-follower optimization strategies and design an appropriate incentive function for each type of generation system. At the same time the market leader can formulate a cost function for the system operation based on the mandated security and reliability by state power boards. In this market structure, the state power board will determine the overall energy policy and set up an auction market for market players to compete in the market under leader-follower market structure. In our formulation, the market leader position is assigned to ISO's. The significance of the proposed work is the creation of a new market structure that will make it feasible for market forces to participate in the development of electric energy systems and to compete in the market while ensuring the reliability and security of systems. The proposed market structure will allow the state government to formulate energy policy and, through proposed incentive functions, to encourage the citizen to participate in its implementation. The proposed market structure will also help market forces develop energy sources, since it will remove the uncertainties of planning plants where they may face bottlenecks in transmissions. Energy users will also benefit by reducing the cost of energy through participation in a load response program and being assured of reliable and secure service.
