Day-ahead bidding and dispatch strategy of novel battery charging and swapping station under multiple uncertainties

Abstract

The novel battery charging and swapping station (NBCSS) has great operational flexibility due to its integration of wind power, photovoltaic power, gas turbine and energy storage. This paper presents a day-ahead bidding and dispatch strategy of NBCSS under multiple uncertainties, which consists of battery demand, market price, renewable energy and load. Firstly, the optimized backup method is used to address the uncertainty of battery demand. Then, a two-stage stochastic robust optimization model is further applied to address the uncertainties of market price, renewable energy and load. The model’s goal is to minimize the total operational cost in the worst-case scenario, which is limited by the corresponding uncertainty set. Especially, to control the conservatism of the model, the total adjustable budget and temporal adjustable budget of uncertainties are considered together. Next, the two-stage model is solved efficiently based on the strong duality theory and column-and-constraint generation (C&CG) method. Finally, case studies are given to verify the effectiveness and performance of the proposed model. The results demonstrate that the NBCSS can be efficiently deployed, enabling market arbitrage and reducing the overall cost. Additionally, the conservatism of the proposed model can be adjusted according to the budgets of uncertainties.
