Impacts of Ramping Inflexibility of Conventional Generators on Strategic Operation of Energy Storage Facilities

摘要: This paper proposes an approach to assist a price-maker merchant energy storage facility in making its optimal operation decisions. The operates pool-based electricity market, where the ramping capability of other resources is limited. Also, wind power exist system. seeks maximize profit through strategic inter-temporal arbitrage decisions, when taking advantage those ramp limitations. market operator, on hand, aims at maximizing social welfare under generation uncertainty. Thus, stochastic bi-level optimization model proposed, into account interactions between and existing opportunities for facility. proposed then transformed mathematical program with equilibrium constraints that can be recast as mixed-integer linear programming problem. Different case studies are presented discussed using six-bus illustrative example IEEE one-area reliability test system evaluate performance approach.
