To cope with these different forms of operation uncertainties, an imitation learning based real-time decision-making solution for microgrid economic dispatch is proposed. In this solution, the optimal dispatch trajectories obtained by solving the optimal problem using historical deterministic operation patterns are demonstrated as the expert samples for imitation learning. To improve the generalization performance of imitation learning and the expressive ability of uncertain variables, a hybrid model combining the unsupervised and supervised learning is utilized. The denoising autoencoder based unsupervised learning model is adopted to enhance the feature extraction of operation patterns. Furthermore, the long short-term memory network based supervised learning model is used to efficiently characterize the mapping between the input space composed of the extracted operation patterns and system state variables and the output space composed of the optimal dispatch trajectories. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that under various operation uncertainties, the operation cost achieved by the proposed solution is close to the minimum theoretical value. Compared with the traditional model predictive control method and basic clone imitation learning method, the operation cost of the proposed solution is reduced by 6.3% and 2.8%, respectively, over a test period of three months.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"12 4","pages":"1183-1193"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10396835","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769489","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}

To optimize the pathway of NPD in the lowcarbon transition course of power supply structure evolution, a simulation model is built to deduce alternative NPD pathways and corresponding power supply evolution scenarios under the constraint of an exogenously assigned carbon emission pathway (CEP); moreover, a method is proposed to describe the CEP by superimposing the maximum carbon emission space and each carbon emission reduction (CER) component, and various CER components are clustered considering the emission reduction characteristics and resource endowments of different power generation technologies.

However, the feasible region of FFR controller parameters is inherently nonlinear and implicit because the power point tracking controllers of wind turbine would counteract the effect of FFR controllers. To address this issue, this letter proposes a linear feasible region formulation method, where frequency regulation characteristics of wind turbines, the dead band, and reserve limits of generators are all considered.

The graph attention network is tailored specifically to this problem and incorporates several innovative features such as a self-loop in the adjacency matrix, a customized loss function, and the use of max-pooling layers. Additionally, a rule-based strategy is proposed to adjust infeasible solutions that violate constraints. Simulation results on multiple distribution networks demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other machine learning based methods in terms of the solution quality and robustness to varying load conditions.

However, the value of \u0000<tex>$D$</tex>\u0000 is small, resulting in the limitation in frequency regulation of the power system. This paper proposes a parallel-type load damping factor controller to enhance load damping factor by utilizing static var generators (SVGs) in substations.

The large-scale application of the proposed controller can significantly improve the frequency regulation capability, and almost have no influence on the working status of the load.
