Nevertheless, the DRO paradigm often lacks interpretability in its results, obscuring the causal relationships between data distribution characteristics and the outcomes. Furthermore, the current approach to battery type selection is not included in traditional BESS planning, hindering comprehensive optimization. To tackle these BESS planning problems, this paper presents a universal method for BESS planning, which is designed to enhance the interpretability of DRO. First, mathematical definitions of interpretable DRO (IDRO) are introduced. Next, the uncertainties in wind power, photovoltaic power, and loads are modeled by using second-order cone ambiguity sets (SOCASs). In addition, the proposed method integrates selection, sizing, and siting. Moreover, a second-order cone bidirectional-orthogonal strategy is proposed to solve the BESS planning problems. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through case studies, offering planners richer decision-making insights.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"13 5","pages":"1664-1676"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10988702","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145089984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality transition of China as a case study, clustering method is employed to construct a diverse set of strategically distinct carbon trajectories. For each trajectory, the evolution of the generation mix and the deployment pathways of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are analyzed, identifying the optimal transition pathway based on the criterion of minimizing cumulative economic costs. Further, by comparing non-fossil energy substitution and CCS retrofitting in thermal power, the analysis high-lights the potential for co-optimization of carbon reduction and carbon sequestration.

While most existing studies focus on individual data centers, coordinating multiple geo-distributed data centers can significantly enhance operational flexibility and market participation.

To address these challenges, this paper proposes a coordinated bidding strategy for electricity purchases and regulation capacity offerings for multiple geo-distributed data centers in electricity markets. This strategy expands the feasible region of operational decisions, including workload dispatch, server activation, and cooling behaviors. To enhance the participation of data centers in frequency regulation services under uncertainty, chance-constrained programming is adopted. This paper presents explicit models for these uncertainties involved, starting with the Poisson-distributed workloads and then addressing the unpredictable regulation signals.

This study proposes a novel P2P energy trading scheme with coupled electricity-carbon (E/C) market that co-optimizes both power and carbon emission flows. To facilitate the low-carbon operations in the market, we introduce a prosumer-driven carbon-aware distribution locational marginal price (PDC-DLMP) to serve as a pricing signal for the distribution system operator (DSO). To efficiently determine the optimal trading solutions, we adopt a two-layer data-driven approach. The first layer employs a rein-forcement learning algorithm named multi-agent twin-delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (MATD3); the second layer uses a deep neural network (DNN) driven surrogate model, which is designed to map the PDC-DLMP signals, thereby eliminating the need for direct DSO intervention during market operation. This approach protects the physical model parameters of the distribution network and ensures multilevel privacy protection.

Yet, if the uncertainty of wind power can be economically and effectively managed on the source side, it can drive the power grids towards renewable-dominant future. In this paper, an enhanced scheduling strategy for wind farm-flexible load joint operation system (WF-FLJOS) is proposed. The proposed strategy is designed to manage the uncertainty of wind power on the generation side when integrated into a large-scale power grid. Moreover, it can contribute to saving energy costs on the load side. Compared with the current wind farm operation rules, more stringent assessment requirements are put forward for wind power output accuracy, and the internal organization framework of WF-FLJOS is designed. For potential power violations of wind farms and flexible loads, the violation penalty mechanisms are developed to regulate the behavior of the participants. The joint operation model of the WF-FLJOS is proposed and the submission and tracking approach of the generation schedule for the wind farm is investigated. Numerical results indicate that the proposed strategy can not only improve the ability of the wind farm to track the generation schedule, but also consider the benefits of both the farm side and the load side. Meanwhile, the proposed strategy effectively reduces the schedule adjustment pressure on the main grid caused by the rolling correction mode of the intraday schedule for wind farms.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"13 4","pages":"1211-1223"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10899103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144716212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of the state-of-the-art studies pay attention to the steady constraints without considering the transient performance during MG formation process. Power fluctuations caused by line switch operations can lead to frequency overruns in low-inertia DG-based systems, thus tripping protective relays. This paper proposes an MG formation method for load restoration in the distribution network with dynamic frequency constraints during the load restoration process. Firstly, considering the frequency constraints, a frequency nadir formula is derived based on the aggregated model. The proposed MG formation method offers two solutions to ensure the frequency safety. One solution is to incorporate the dynamic frequency constraints into the MG formation optimization model to satisfy the frequency requirements if the load restoration amount is preferred. Another alternative solution is to introduce an inertia-adjustable control strategy using virtual synchronous generators (VSGs), which is aimed to improve the frequency nadir during MG formation process. This solution is implemented without changing the MG formation result that is subject to only steady constraints when the load restoration speed is privileged. Theoretical validity is verified through the simulation results. Case study results prove the effectiveness of proposed solutions under various demands in the aspect of frequency improvement.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"13 4","pages":"1323-1334"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10899799","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144716311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the VSG exhibits limited capabilities in low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) mode. Specifically, the slow response of the power loop poses challenges for VSG in grid voltage support and increases the risk of overcurrent, potentially violating present grid codes. This paper reveals the mechanism behind the delayed response speed of VSG control during the grid faults. On this basis, a compound compensation control strategy is proposed for improving the LVRT capability of the VSG, which incorporates adaptive frequency feedforward compensation (AFFC), direct power angle compensation (DPAC), internal potential compensation (IPC), and transient virtual impedance (TVI), effectively expediting the response speed and reducing transient current. Furthermore, the proposed control strategy ensures that the VSG operates smoothly back to its normal control state following the restoration from the grid faults. Subsequently, a large-signal model is developed to facilitate parameter design and stability analysis, which incorporates grid codes and TVI.
