However, existing frequency-supporting control strategies lack the assessment of the frequency support capability of wind turbine generators, leading to degraded control performance under various situations. Aiming to solve this problem, this paper proposes a variable-droop-gain control for wind turbine generators with maximum rotor kinetic energy utilization. Firstly, an analytical relationship was established between droop gain, disturbance scale, and rotor speed. Subsequently, the released energy of the wind turbine generator is evaluated, which equals the difference in the rotor kinetic energy under the initial and the post-disturbance steady-state rotor speed. It was proved that the released kinetic energy cannot exceed a certain proportion of total rotor kinetic energy. Accordingly, a variable initial gain scheme is proposed, which determines the initial droop gain as per the disturbance scale for maximizing the kinetic energy release of wind turbines. Moreover, an additional real-time droop gain adjustment rule is added to prevent the over-deceleration of wind turbines. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme may provide the maximum KE release and effectively improve the system frequency nadir while ensuring the safe operation of wind turbine generators.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 110289"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592673","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}

The research focuses on an oil dock in Bushehr, Iran, as a case study. The optimization process employs the Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) algorithm – which is used for the first time for hybrid configuration and optimal sizing in this paper-, a nature-inspired, population-based optimization technique. This algorithm’s performance is compared to conventional optimization methods to assess its efficiency. The study’s methodology involves: (1) Explaining the economic relationships for each energy source, (2) Formulating a cost function, (3) Using the HHO algorithm to minimize the total cost of the renewable energy-based hybrid systems. The HHO algorithm is inspired by the hunting behavior of Harris hawks, specifically their “wonder attack” strategy. This novel approach to optimization aims to find the most cost-effective configuration of energy sources for the given scenario. Key findings of the study include the HHO algorithm demonstrated superior efficiency compared to Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) across all configurations tested. The most cost-effective configuration was found to be a combination of photovoltaics, batteries, and diesel generators. This setup had the lowest total annual cost among all configurations examined. The optimal system consisted of 450 photovoltaic units, 9 battery units, and 2 diesel generator units, with a minimum annual cost of approximately $355,525. These results highlight the potential of the HHO algorithm in optimizing renewable energy systems and demonstrate the complex trade-offs between cost and environmental impact in hybrid energy configurations.

Besides, the feasibility of the load restoration scheme relies on an exact mathematical model of the load restoration problem, while the existing second-order cone programming (SOCP) based model is not suitable for transmission power systems due to the lack of voltage angle related arctangent constraints. To address these two main drawbacks in existing research on load restoration, a robust contingency-constrained load restoration model (CCLRM) for transmission systems considering the modified SOCP formulation of power flow is proposed with the objective of reducing the outage losses taking the worst contingency into account. To identify the worst contingency for the CCLRM, a bi-level worst contingency identification model (WOCIM) is proposed and reformulated into a single-level model by employing the duality theory to make the WOCIM solvable.

There is an urgent requirement to explore user-side resources to provide flexibility for the power system. The regional integrated energy system (RIES) contains a large number of multi-energy coupling devices with abundant flexibility. However, considering the multi-energy complementary characteristics and complex multi-energy networks, as well as the uncertainty of the renewable energy, it is difficult to quantify the energy purchasing demand and flexibility support ability of RIES in the market, making it challenging to identify the RIES feasible region. This paper proposes a novel approach to tackle this challenge by introducing a projection method based on second-order cone programming. The approach aims to describe the energy purchasing and flexible reserve feasible regions of an RIES. Specifically, a max–min RIES operating model is constructed with the goal of minimizing the distance from the boundary of the feasible region in the worst case. Subsequently, the strong duality principle and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions are leveraged to reformulate the max–min optimization problem into a solvable second-order cone programming problem. Additionally, the chance constraint is introduced to address and express the risk associated the uncertainty of the renewable energy output in RIES. Moreover, for the convenience of subsequent solving, the deterministic equivalent method is used to convert it into a deterministic constraint. Case studies conducted on an RIES incorporating a 33-bus distribution network and a 7-node natural gas network demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach in projecting the feasible region in terms of both operating costs and computational time.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 110347"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592675","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}

Existing wind power prediction methods mainly focus on the overall trend information, often neglecting the performance of some typical intervals that can significantly impact the reserve requirements of power system, <strong><em>e.g.</em></strong>, unexpected ramp-up and ramp-down, local peak interval (LPI), and so on. Therefore, the primary focus of this paper is to explore techniques for enhancing the accuracy of wind power during the LPI. Considering that the points during the LPI are influenced by dynamic ramp characteristics, with the steepness and magnitude of ramps influencing the range of LPI, this paper proposes a novel focused-LPI model by incorporating dynamic ramp considerations. Specifically, beyond the tradition forecasting model, the proposed model encodes the information of ramp occurrence in wind power data based on a positional encoder; subsequently, the proposed model not only outputs standard predictions within a prediction range but also identifies the presence of ramps within these predictions. In addition, this paper employs a dynamically weighted loss function to optimize the proposed multi-task model. The proposed model is applied for various network architectures, and the results confirm that the proposed model is widely suitable for various basis network architectures.
