A generic framework for power system flexibility analysis using cooperative game theory

摘要: Abstract Electricity grid infrastructures provides valuable flexibility in power systems with high shares of variable supply due to its ability distribute low-cost load centers (spatial), addition interlinking a variety and demand characteristics that potentially offset each others negative impact on system balance (temporal). In this paper, we present framework investigate the benefits alternative providers, such as fast-ramping gas turbines, hydropower side management, by using generation transmission capacity expansion planning model. We demonstrate our findings multinational case study North Sea Offshore Grid an infrastructure typology from year 2016 operational data for 2030 – considering range renewable levels spanning 0% 100%. First, show how different providers are allocated geographically Second, cost savings quantified per incremental unit flexible capacity. Finally, way rank their marginal contribution aggregate savings, reduced CO2 emissions, increased utilization energy sources system. The Shapley Value cooperative game theory allows us assess latter accounting all possible sequences technology deployment, contrast traditional approaches. presented could help gain insights policy designs or risk assessments.
