Coordination of Renewable Hydro-Wind Units for Enhancing the Hydrothermal Power System OperationThe restructuring of electric power industry and concerns over energy security and global warming have resulted in a rapid deployment of generating units that produce renewable and emission-free energy such as wind power generating units. However, the intermittency and volatility issues of wind energy have introduced new challenges in managing the security of electricity infrastructure. It is the objective of the research effort to develop an integrated framework for firming of wind power generation in electric power systems through novel hydro-wind coordination in an existing hydrothermal power system. As a result, notoriously intermittent and volatile wind power generation will become a dispatchable generation resource with a smaller requirement for spinning reserves and additional transmission capacity. The framework will be implemented and tested as part of a next-generation security-constrained simulation software tool for analyzing the power system economics, security, and environmental issues considering the impacts of wind power intermittency and volatility on power system operations. Intellectual Merit: The coordinated hydro-wind operation will be analyzed and quantified in the study in terms of minimizing the daily operating cost, and satisfying hourly operating constraints, and greenhouse emission constraints. The investigation is important since a high penetration of wind power units is being considered worldwide for satisfying economic objectives as well as operating and environmental constraints in electric power systems. The project team is highly qualified to perform the study and the research and educational facilities at IIT are adequate.Broader Impacts: The effort also applies to other renewable energy forms with similar intermittency and volatility natures, such as solar energy. The implementation of the research results in practical power systems has the potential to enhance the operation of stressed power systems, to reduce the chance of blackouts, to lower the emission of greenhouse gases, and to improve the nation's energy security and sustainability.Educational activities are integrated with research activities enhanced at both undergraduate and graduate levels with broad participation of underrepresented student groups. Minority students are currently engaged and will be further involved in wind energy research. Undergraduate students will participate in the research activities through the designated inter-professional project courses at the home institution. It is also planed to increase public awareness and facilitate the understanding of the complexity of power systems operation among ratepayers, regulators, politicians, utility executives, and market participants.

协调可再生水电-风电机组以提高水火电系统的运行电力行业的重组以及对能源安全和全球变暖的担忧导致了生产可再生和无排放能源的发电机组（如风力发电机组）的快速部署。然而，风能的不稳定性和波动性问题给电力基础设施的安全管理带来了新的挑战。研究工作的目标是通过现有水热发电系统中新颖的水电-风力协调，开发一个用于电力系统中风力发电的综合框架。因此，众所周知的间歇性和波动性风力发电将成为一种可调度的发电资源，对旋转储备和额外传输容量的需求较小。该框架将作为下一代安全约束仿真软件工具的一部分进行实施和测试，该工具用于分析电力系统的经济性、安全性和环境问题，同时考虑风电的不稳定性和波动性对电力系统运行的影响。智力优势：在研究中，将从最小化日运行成本、满足小时运行约束和温室气体排放约束等方面对水电风协调运行进行分析和量化。调查是重要的，因为高渗透率的风力发电机组正在考虑在世界范围内满足经济目标，以及在电力系统的操作和环境约束。项目团队具备进行研究的高素质，IIT的研究和教育设施也足够。更广泛的影响：这项工作也适用于其他具有类似不稳定性和波动性性质的可再生能源形式，如太阳能。研究成果在实际电力系统中的实施有可能提高电力系统的运行压力，以减少停电的机会，降低温室气体的排放，并提高国家的能源安全和可持续性。教育活动与研究活动相结合，加强在本科和研究生水平与代表性不足的学生群体的广泛参与。少数民族学生目前正在从事并将进一步参与风能研究。本科生将通过指定的跨专业项目课程在家庭机构参与研究活动。它还计划提高公众意识，促进纳税人，监管机构，政治家，公用事业管理人员和市场参与者对电力系统运行复杂性的理解。
