Dynamic economic and emission dispatch model considering wind power under Energy Market Reform: A case study

Abstract

With the increasing issues in the environmental and the high requirement for energy, the Energy Market Reform (EMR) was introduced by the UK government. This paper develops a novel Dynamic Economic and Emission Dispatch (DEED) model for a combined conventional and wind power system incorporating the carbon price floor (CPF) and the Emission Performance Standard (EPS) that is supported by the EMR. The proposed model aims to determine the optimal operation strategy for the given system on power dispatch taking into account wind power waste and reserve and also the environmental aspect, especially the CPF of greenhouse gases and the emission limit of the EPS for different decarbonisation scenarios. Case studies for the demand profile in the Sheffield region in the UK with different time intervals is presented. The results indicate that renewable power is superior in both the economics and emissions to a mid to long-term energy strategy in the UK.
