While traditional methods like Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) offer theoretical guarantees, they rely on approximations that can lead to suboptimal decisions and costly redispatch or penalties. Because of its inherent approximations, MILP is a low-fidelity optimization model. In this paper, we propose a multi-fidelity approach that combines MILP with a Surrogate-Based Optimization Algorithm (SBOA). MILP solutions are used as warm-starts for the SBOA, which refines the solutions using a high-fidelity simulator of PHES dynamics and redispatch costs. This allows the SBOA to handle nonlinearities and improve the initial MILP solution by exploring areas with higher expected value. Our approach is tested on a PHES unit that participates in the energy and reserve markets in Belgium. The results show that, despite the extensive efforts made in MILP modeling, decisions can still be improved through smart integration with SBOAs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of energy storage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the control performance of the pumped storage governing system (PSGS), this paper introduces a hierarchical control strategy improved generalized predictive control-proportional-integral-derivative (IGPC-PID) for PSU. Firstly, we establish a precise state-space differential equation model of PSGS. Secondly, we propose a parameter approximation strategy based on the F-test, which is used to approximate the higher-order transfer function model of the PSGS. Besides, the model parameters are estimated online by the least square method (LSM) to reduce the model error. Combined with the model parameter approximation method and hierarchical control strategy proposed in this paper, numerical experiments are conducted on the simulation platform established in the study. The results indicate that the proposed model can accurately describe the hydraulic dynamic characteristics of the piping system, and the IGPC-PID can effectively inhibit the rotational speed oscillations of the PSGS under perturbation. Simulation results show that under 5 % frequency perturbation, the IGPC-PID controller can make the system reach a stable state in about 4 s with almost no overshooting. Compared with the traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID), generalized predictive control (GPC) controller reduces about 9 s, 5 s, the overshooting amount reduces 0.0026.
