A key feature of smart grids is their capability to manage available resources effectively to mitigate peak load while accounting for the inherent uncertainties in load demand and the generation of all renewable energy sources. Thereby, this paper proposes a two-stage coordination approach that integrates price-based demand response (PBDR) and energy storage systems, encompassing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES). This approach integrates CAES with BESSs to optimise the charging and discharging processes while minimising degradation costs. Specifically, it aims to address the substantial degradation expenses of BESSs by strategically utilising CAES as a complementary storage solution. The objective is to minimise operational costs while controlling peak demand load in smart microgrids. Moreover, to simultaneously address the inherent uncertainties associated with the demanded load and the generating power of renewable energy sources, a method incorporating scenario generation and reduction is introduced to improve scheduling accuracy and enhance the reliability of energy management. To tackle this multifaceted challenge, a novel scenario-based Developed Two-Stage Interval Optimisation (DTSIO) model has been proposed to effectively address uncertainty. By employing the scenario generation method in conjunction with the k-means technique to reduce scenarios with low probabilities of occurrence, the analysis process is optimised for better problem-solving efficiency. The proposed model's efficacy is validated through its implementation on a 33 and 69 bus microgrid, showcasing its ability to enhance profitability, manage peak load, reduce reliance on the upstream grid, and lower carbon dioxide emissions.</p>","PeriodicalId":13261,"journal":{"name":"Iet Generation Transmission & Distribution","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/gtd2.70084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a novel method for LOE detection in synchronous generators. The method utilizes a new criterion based on the variation of the generator rotor speed, where this criterion increases above one per unit after the occurrence of LOE and remains in this state. Unlike traditional methods that require complex settings, this approach operates without the need for threshold adjustments, ensuring accurate and fast performance under various conditions. In the simulations, generators of various sizes were subjected to various loads and network scenarios.

First, a dynamic K-medoids clustering method is applied to reduce the dimension of large-scale resources, thereby reducing the complexity and difficulty of controlling a large number of resources. Then, considering that the intra-hour performance requirements of the frequency control as well as the resource pool of the VPPs are usually minor changing, this paper proposes a two-stage optimization model based on submodular optimization theory for dynamical aggregation, which enables rapid selection and allocation of flexible resources in VPPs. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on the IEEE 10-generator 39-bus system with 10,000 flexible resources.
