Redundant electric energy can be converted into storable hydrogen energy through electrolysis and utilized for heating purposes. By leveraging the complementarity of diverse energy sources, optimal allocation of renewable energy can be achieved across a broader scope. However, in the current scheduling of multi-energy systems, the efficiency of electrolyser is crudely assumed to be a constant, which results in scheduling solutions that deviate from the Pareto optimum. Therefore, a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser's model with non-linear relationship between the load rate and conversion efficiency is proposed in this paper.

This paper is motivated to fill this gap. By considering the dynamic interaction of outer DC voltage control, reactive power loop, and phase-locked loop (PLL), an equivalent synchronization model of a WG-VSC system is established first. Then, the mechanism of transient synchronization instability is revealed by the combination of equal area criterion and numerical integration method. Furthermore, the concept of feasible region of active power disturbance (FR-APD) is introduced for the first time. With the constructed FR-APD, the transient stability of the WG-VSC system can be confirmed.

However, due to the nonlinear, multivariate, and multistate characteristics of PV models, it is difficult to identify perfect model parameters using traditional analytical and numerical methods. Besides, some existing methods may stick in local optimum and have slow convergence speed. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an enhanced nature-inspired OLARO algorithm for PV parameter identification under different conditions. OLARO is improved from ARO incorporating existing opposition-based learning, Lévy flight and roulette fitness-distance balance to improve global search capability and avoid local optima. Firstly, a novel data smoothing measure is taken to reduce the noises of <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> curves. Then, OLARO is compared with several common algorithms on different solar cells and PV modules using robustness analysis and statistical tests. The results indicate that OLARO has better ability than others to extract parameters from PV models such as single diode, double diode, and PV module models. Moreover, the convergence performance of OLARO is more excellent than the other algorithms. Additionally, the <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> curves of two PV modules under different irradiance and temperature conditions are applied to verify the robustness of the proposed parameter extraction algorithm. Besides, OLARO is successfully applied to two real operating PV modules, and it is compared with two recent well-known methods improved by FDB.

It seems that with the expansion of renewable energy sources (RESs) as clean energy and investigation of the effects of EVs on the operation and planning of future distribution networks around the way EVs exchange energy with each other and the upstream network operator, RESs such as solar and wind sources, along with hydrogen storage are essential. Therefore, a new stochastic multi-scenario approach for charge/discharge management of EVs parked in IPL was proposed, in which a newly developed model for the IPL with a hydrogen storage system (HSS) consisting of a fuel cell, an electrolyzer, and a hydrogen storage tank was presented. In the proposed model, the constraints of upstream network and power balance constraints, with the operating constraints related to the IPL, including EVs, renewable energy sources, and the hydrogen storage system, were formulated as the most important objectives of the optimization problem. The optimization algorithm, Competitive Swarm Optimizer (CSO), was formulated for implementation, and its results were compared with those of the PSO and GWO algorithms. The CSO must handle a variety of practical, large-scale optimization problems. Based on the obtained results, the excess energy purchased from the upstream network or renewable sources was used as hydrogen storage for consumption during peak hours. As expected, the technical constraints and financial goals of the system were met, and the proposed system was evaluated on a 33-bus network. As the expected benefits will be the most beneficial with the presence of renewable sources, the final profit will be reduced by taking into account uncertainty for charge/discharge management in EVs such as the uncertainty of electric load, market price, wind turbine, and photovoltaic cell sources. Nonetheless, the profit obtained from renewable resources is preferable to losses resulting from the uncertainty of the system, and according to expectation, the performance of the system for managing the optimal charging and discharging of EVs in the IPL will be acceptable with the maximum profit for the grid.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"18 13","pages":"2102-2127"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.13047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142359881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 frequency modulation capability is restructured based on the current state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage system. Subsequently, the equivalent active power reserve demand is evaluated for wind power, leading to the formulation of a wind power reserve active power level and its corresponding operational strategy. For swift active power support, an adaptive virtual inertia control is designed for the energy storage system, contingent on its current SOC. Concurrently, an adaptive virtual inertia control for wind power is developed, grounded in effective kinetic energy. The hybrid wind-storage power plant engages in primary frequency regulation, tailored to the nature of frequency disturbances and prevailing state characteristics.
