To optimize the power allocation of hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) and enhance adjustable reserves to mitigate ramp events, a day-ahead and intraday two-stage multi-objective optimal dispatch strategy is proposed for hybrid power generation systems containing wind, photovoltaic, battery and hydrogen energy storage system (ESS). First, a novel optimization objective is presented to regulate the response priorities of different ESS by minimizing the energy loss, and balance the conservatism by a penalty factor. Then, a two-stage optimal dispatch model is proposed including two sub-models. The day-ahead multi-objective dispatch model considers generation plan, available storage capacity and energy loss, which identifies time slots when adjustable reserves is insufficient; the intraday dispatch model dynamically adjusts penalty factor for each time slot based on the day-ahead results to enhance adjustable reserves in advance. This combination of day-ahead and intraday dispatch models improves the farsightedness and computational efficiency. Finally, a non-isometric scaling method is presented to improve the distribution of Pareto optimal solutions for the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III (NSGA-III). Simulation results based on the actual data from Belgium and China demonstrate that the proposed method effectively mitigates the ramp stress and improves renewable energy utilization, with high computational efficiency and robustness to parameters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 110328"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this issue, the main objective of this study is to provide a fast, simple, and local protection scheme based on differential current component (DCC), which is extracted by the difference in predicted and actual samples of local current component. Autoregression technique is used to predict the future cycle current samples using available samples.

In this paper, a moving target defense (MTD) method based on topology switching (TS) actions is proposed to overcome FDIAs. Specifically, we investigated the feasibility of proactive defense via TS actions, which reconfigured the topology via busbar switching. To make sequential defense decisions on the basis of the perceived current state of the system, the game between the attacker and the defender was modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP).

However, there are very different criteria that affect the performance of these investments. Therefore, businesses need to focus on more important criteria to use the budget effectively and efficiently. This situation increases the need for a priority analysis for performance indicators of solar energy storage investments. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to make evaluation for the technical assessment of solar energy storage investments. In this scope, a new four-stage model is introduced by considering different decision-making techniques and fuzzy sets. The first stage is related to the prioritizing the experts with artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision-making method. Secondly, the missing evaluations of solar energy storage investments are estimated with expert recommender system. In the following part, the criteria for the technical assessment of solar energy storage investments are weighted by quantum picture fuzzy rough sets (QPFRS) adopted M−SWARA. The final stage consists of ranking the solar energy storage alternatives with QPFR-VIKOR. The main contribution of this study is the generation of the decision matrix by the help of AI. This situation gives an opportunity to calculate the significance weights of the experts. Therefore, the analysis results can be more reliable and coherent. It is concluded that battery capacity is the most critical factor for the technical assessment of solar energy storage investments. On the other hand, pumped hydro for mechanic energy is found as the most significant solar energy storage alternative.
