However, exactly modeling the operation of the entire planning horizon is generally computationally intractable. To address this issue, existing methods usually use typical days to estimate the expected operational process, while formulating an uncertainty set to capture short-term operational uncertainties during the entire planning horizon. However, different typical days may exhibit distinct characteristics in short-term uncertainties, e.g., the photovoltaic curve may vary in temporal and spatial characteristics across different seasons. It means that a single uncertainty set cannot precisely describe short-term uncertainties of different characteristics. Motivated by these challenges, this paper develops a new uncertainty set formation approach based on the Theorem of Finite Covering. The main idea is to adaptively optimize several uncertainty sets to cover the uncertainties. Short-term uncertainties with different characteristics are carefully formulated in individual uncertainty sets, which together cover the uncertainty during the entire planning horizon. Based on the proposed uncertainty sets, a multi-stage robust optimization planning model is established. Extensive case studies are tested on an IEEE-33 bus distribution system and compared with two popular existing methods. Results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy","volume":"15 4","pages":"2393-2404"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141501916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a practical hydrogen-integrated microgrid developed by Xi'an Jiaotong University in Yulin, China. The hydrogen-integrated microgrid features a 1-MW photovoltaic (PV) system and a 640-kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system, equipped with a complete set of hydrogen production and supply system, aiming to establish a near-zero carbon multi-energy supply and demand system. Specific control strategies for distributed generations (DGs) as well as system-level control approaches for bidirectional interlinking converters (BICs) are designed to ensure the stable operation of the microgrid system. Through real-world implementation and experimental tests, the microgrid system's ability to effectively harness renewable and clean energy sources, produce and utilize hydrogen, and respond to changes in operating conditions is validated. Some discussion on the benefits of integrating hydrogen into microgrids, comparisons with existing microgrids, practical design considerations, and challenges in the microgrid control system is also summarized for reference.

However, without a grid connection, a new control paradigm is required for the electrolyzer to follow the variable power supplied by the wind turbine. Commercial electrolyzers have power ramp rate limitations, which can result in a mismatch between the wind turbine and electrolyzer power, leading to frequent shutdown and potentially unstable operation. This paper is the first to develop a control system for this off-grid operation with three mechanisms to dynamically balance the power, including energy storage, rotor inertia, and enhanced pitch control. The results show that a $6.8 million supercapacitor is required with a power rating and capacity of approximately 6.7 MW and 8.5 kWh to enable the system to operate through 99% of the annual wind variation. If the electrolyzer ramp rates can be doubled, the same operating hours can be achieved using only control-based power balancing methods at the cost of a marginal reduction in energy production. If commercial electrolyzer ramp rates can be tripled, the system is able to operate without the need for any power balancing.","PeriodicalId":452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy","volume":"15 4","pages":"2349-2360"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141524944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An energy management system co-optimizes the consumptions and battery storage based on locally available stochastic renewables by solving a stochastic dynamic program that maximizes the expected operation surplus. To circumvent the exponential complexity of the dynamic program solution, we propose a closed-form and linear computation complexity co-optimization algorithm based on a relaxation-projection approach to a constrained stochastic dynamic program. Sufficient conditions for optimality for the proposed solution are obtained.

The PV units mainly focus on outputting active power with unity power factor characteristic while the ES unit is responsible for the total output voltage regulation, frequency restoration, and power fluctuation suppression. With the proposed method, the string voltage can be regulated by the ES unit. Further, both the frequency synchronization with no steady state error and the cooperation between ES and PVs are realized automatically with only ES control requires PCC information. Therefore, the communication dependence is reduced which improves the system reliability.
