Abstract
The key challenge for automatic generation control (AGC) dispatch lies in the contradiction between the detailed modeling required for optimal dispatch and the tight calculation time. The current method includes (1) the heuristics method that allocates real-time commands based on certain rules (fast but nonoptimal) and (2) the proactive dispatch method with a detailed AGC dispatch model (relatively optimal but the forecast error exists). The development of renewables and the prevalence of energy storage systems (ESSs) with costly degradation calls for combining the advantages of heuristics and proactive methods in AGC dispatch. With this in mind, a hierarchical AGC dispatch method is proposed. A proactive AGC dispatch model embedding state of charge (SOC) recovery is established to make the best use of regulating resources while avoiding the degradation of ESSs. A uniform SOC model considering comprehensive ramping circumstances of ESSs is proposed with low model complexity. A theoretical analysis demonstrates the desired modeling accuracy. To compensate for the forecast error, real-time AGC dispatch is considered. The dead band and forced SOC recovery of ESSs are used to alleviate their degradation. Time-domain simulations based on practical data demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the system frequency performance while obviously reducing the degradation of ESSs.
