Abstract

Subhourly modeling of power systems and the use of the stochastic optimization are two relevant solutions proposed in the literature to address the integration of stochastic renewable energy sources. With this aim, this paper deals with the effect of different formulations of the subhourly stochastic unit commitment (SUC) problem on power system dynamics. Different SUC models are presented and embedded into time domain simulations (TDS) through a cosimulation platform. The objective of the paper is to study the combined impact of different frequency control/machine parameters and different SUC formulations on the long-term dynamic behaviour of power systems. The analysis is based on extensive Monte Carlo TDS (MC-TDS) and a variety of scenarios based on the New England 39-bus system.

Highlights

  • While it is well-known that inertia of synchronous machines is the parameter on which system stability mostly depends in the first seconds after a major contingency, other frequency control parameters help keeping the frequency within certain limits most of the time

  • We present here a thorough sensitivity analysis related to different control parameters as well as a comparison on the effect of different stochastic unit commitment (SUC) models on the long-term dynamic behaviour of power systems

  • In this paper we have performed a thorough sensitivity analysis in order to assess the impact on long-term power system dynamics of different frequency control/machine parameters and different subhourly SUC formulations

Summary

Motivation

Modeling of power systems is seen as a solution to different problems in power systems. Modeling is to be preferred compared to the conventional hourly dispatch. Into a time domain simulator as it can overlap with relevant long-term power system dynamics [2], and analyse its impact on power system dynamic behaviour [3]. To study the effect of these parameters on long-term frequency deviations, one would need to use dynamic equations with stochastic terms and perform long-term dynamic simulations [4]. The objective of the paper is to assess the impact of different implementations of stochastic UC problem formulations on power system dynamics and their sensitivity with respect to the parameters of primary and secondary controllers of conventional power plants
