Stochastic security constrained unit commitment with battery energy storage and wind power integration.

Summary: Large penetration of intermittent wind power creates reliability and system security issues in power system operation which can be alleviated by providing energy storage systems (ESS). In this view, this paper proposes stochastic security constrained unit commitment (SCUC) framework with battery energy storage (BES) considering wind power uncertainty and N‐1‐line contingency criteria. The uncertain wind power is modeled through probable scenarios. In addition, use of N‐1 security criteria for pre and post line contingency is modeled using DC power flow. Conventionally, injection shift factor (ISF) are used in power flow equations however, N‐1 security formulation is computationally heavy and takes huge time. This work proposes the use of line outage distribution factor (LODF) to reduce the number of non‐zero coefficients of post contingency DC security constraints for improving computational requirement. Mathematical model is complex mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem and solved using benders decomposition for modified IEEE reliability test system and 118‐bus system. The results analyze the impact of BES, total operating costs with LODF and ISF, locational marginal price (LMP), wind curtailment, BES scheduling and computation time. The proposed model is economically beneficial for power system operations under large wind penetration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
