Abstract
With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, transmission maintenance scheduling (TMS) will have a larger impact on the accommodation of wind power. Meanwhile, the more flexible transmission network topology owing to the network topology optimization (NTO) technique can ensure the secure and economic operation of power systems. This paper proposes a TMS model considering NTO to decrease the wind curtailment without adding control devices. The problem is formulated as a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming model. The first stage arranges the maintenance periods of transmission lines. The second stage optimizes the transmission network topology to minimize the maintenance cost and system operation in different wind speed scenarios. The proposed model cannot be solved efficiently with off-the-shelf solvers due to the binary variables in both stages. Therefore, the progressive hedging algorithm is applied. The results on the modified IEEE RTS-79 system show that the proposed method can reduce the negative impact of transmission maintenance on wind accommodation by 65.49%, which proves its effectiveness.
