Abstract
Demand-side resources (DSR) have been considered as flexible frequency reserve providers in power systems. Given their uncertain nature in the reserve deployment and the load recovery periods, it is necessary to consider these uncertainties in the frequency dynamic constrained unit commitment (FDUC) model. This paper proposes a two-stage distributionally robust FDUC model to minimize the worst-case cost expectation under a set of probability distributions of DSR uncertainties, which are restricted by the supports and moments generated from statistical information. In addition, the cumulative frequency deviation during the entire regulation period is exploited as a frequency dynamic criterion. Particularly, it can quantify the regulation efficacy of the reserve resources with diverse frequency response characteristics, such as the dead-band time and the reserve delivery time. Simulations based on the IEEE 118-bus and 300-bus systems validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in hedging against the DSR uncertainties.
