Collaborative Research: Stochastic Optimization and Coordination Control of Demand Response for Enhancing the Secure and Economic Operation of Power Systems

摘要本研究的目的是为零售消费者集成商和独立系统运营商探索新的需求响应管理模型和稳健的解决方案，使需求响应成为提供辅助服务和维护系统安全的资源。方法是：(1)建立自适应价格敏感负荷预测模型；(2)提出了零售消费者集成商的风险约束随机需求响应调度模型；(3)构造独立系统算子的两阶段安全约束随机调度模型。智力价值：需求响应集成将被分析和量化，以最小化日常运营成本，满足每小时的安全约束，并适应不确定性。该项目具有重要的现实意义，因为需求响应正在全球范围内实施，消费者将有机会为电力系统运行中的能源安全和环境改善做出独特的贡献。项目团队有资格进行这项研究，克拉克森和伊利诺伊理工学院的研究和教育设施也足够。更广泛的影响：随着分布式发电和插电式混合动力汽车的日益普及，该项目将产生深远的影响。提出的“智能电网中的现代电力系统运行与控制”的综合研究与教育活动和新课程的开发将吸引更多的学生进入电力工程领域。我们将招募未被充分代表的学生参与本研究的各项任务。该项目将提高纳税人、监管机构、政治家、公用事业主管、市场参与者和电力消费者对电力系统运行复杂性的认识和理解。

AbstractThe objective of this research is to explore novel demand response management models and robust solutions for both Aggregators of Retail Consumers and Independent System Operators, which enable demand response to become a resource for providing ancillary services and maintaining system security. The approach is to (1) establish an adaptive price-sensitive load forecasting model; (2) propose a risk-constrained stochastic demand response scheduling model for Aggregators of Retail Consumers; (3) construct a two-stage security-constrained stochastic scheduling model for Independent System Operators.Intellectual Merit: The demand response integration will be analyzed and quantified for minimizing daily operating costs, satisfying hourly security constraints, and accommodating uncertainties. This project is of practical importance since demand response is being implemented worldwide, and consumers will have opportunities to make distinctive contributions to energy security and environmental improvements in power system operation. The project team is qualified to perform the study and the research and educational facilities at Clarkson and Illinois Institute of Technology are adequate.Broader Impacts: This project has profound impacts with the increasing deployment of distributed generations and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The proposed integrated research and educational activities and the new course development on modern power system operation and control in smart grid will attract more students to seek careers in power engineering. Underrepresented students will be recruited to participate in various tasks of this research. This project will increase public awareness and understanding of the complexity of power system operation among ratepayers, regulators, politicians, utility executives, market participants, and electricity consumers.
