Abstract
In recent years, restructured power system has emerged and renewable energy generation technology has developed. More and more different unit characteristics and stochastic factors make the unit commitment (UC) more difficult than before. A novel stochastic UC formulation which covered the usual thermal units, flexible generating units and wind generation units is proposed to meet the need of energy-savings and environment protection. By introducing a UC risk constraint (UCRC), many stochastic factors such as demand fluctuations, unit force outages, variety of energy price, even the stochastic characteristics of wind generation can be dealt with. Based on the theory of chance constrained programming (CCP), the UCRC, a probabilistic constraint is changed into a determinate constraint, and then the presented formulation can be solved by usual optimization algorithms. Numerical simulations on 4 test systems with different scales show that different UC schedules can be determined according to different stochastic factors and its calculation time is acceptable in the view of practical engineer.
