The proposed model, called DRAM, concatenates a dilated convolutional neural network (DCNN) module with a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) module, and integrates an attention mechanism. First, the processed data are input into the DCNN layer, and the dilation convolution mechanism captures the spatial features of the wide sensory field of the input data. Subsequently, the temporal characteristics between the features are extracted in the BiLSTM layer. Finally, an attention mechanism is used to strengthen the key features by assigning weights to efficiently construct the relationship between the features and output variables. In addition, the power prediction accuracy of the new PV sites was improved by transferring the pre-trained model parameters to the new PV site prediction model.

The evaluation framework, comprising nine indicators organized into two tiers, was constructed based on three aspects: market design, market efficiency, and developmental coordination. Furthermore, a novel fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making evaluation model for electricity market performance was developed based on the Fuzzy-BWM and fuzzy COPRAS methodologies. This model aimed to ensure both accuracy and comprehensiveness in market operation assessment. Subsequently, empirical analyses were conducted on four typical provincial-level electricity markets in China. The results indicate that Guangdong’s electricity market performed best because of its effective balance of stakeholder interests and adherence to contractual integrity principles. Zhejiang and Shandong ranked second and third, respectively, whereas Sichuan exhibited the poorest market performance.

This study proposes an optimal day-ahead scheduling strategy of microgrid considering regional pollution and potential load curtailment. First, considering the operating characteristics of microgrids in islanded and grid- connected operation modes, this study proposes a regional pollution index (RPI) to quantify the impact of pollutants emitted from microgrid on the environment, and further proposes a penalty mechanism based on the RPI to reduce the microgrid’s utilization on non-clean power supplies. Second, considering the benefits of microgrid as the operating entity, utilizing a direct load control (DLC) enables microgrid to enhance power transfer capabilities to the grid under the penalty mechanism based on RPI. Finally, an optimal day-ahead scheduling strategy which considers both the load curtailment potential of curtailable loads and RPI is proposed, and the results show that the proposed optimal day-ahead scheduling strategy can effectively inspire the curtailment potential of curtailable loads in the microgrid, reducing pollutant emissions from the microgrid.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36174,"journal":{"name":"Global Energy Interconnection","volume":"7 6","pages":"Pages 749-760"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance the efficiency of secondary control, we developed a novel distributed self-triggered active power-sharing control strategy by introducing the signum function and a flexible linear clock. Unlike continuous communication–based controllers, the proposed self-triggered distributed controller prompts distributed generators to perform control actions and share information with their neighbors only at specific time instants monitored by the linear clock. Therefore, this approach results in a significant reduction in both the computation and communication requirements. Moreover, this design naturally avoids Zeno behavior. Furthermore, a modified triggering condition was established to achieve further reductions in computation and communication. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed control scheme achieves distributed active power sharing with very few controller triggers, thereby substantially enhancing the efficacy of secondary control in MGs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36174,"journal":{"name":"Global Energy Interconnection","volume":"7 6","pages":"Pages 786-797"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
