Consequently, electric power companies are limited to accessing only the recorded net electricity consumption. This article introduces an innovative approach to estimate behind-the-meter PV power generation within a large region, utilizing a limited representative subset. The proposed framework integrates Missforest, that is, a robust tool for missing data imputation, with a hybrid application of K-Means, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Principal Component Analysis, for the precise selection of representative PV sites. Additionally, it leverages the Informer model, a cutting-edge deep learning-based time series model, to link the relationship between the PV power generation at representative sites and the total PV power output on the entire region. To conduct a case study, the power output of 367 PV sites and solar radiation measured at 105 weather stations in Taiwan were collected and analyzed.

This article presents the evaluation of a novel low-head pumped hydro storage system designed for coastal environments and shallow seas. The proposed system addresses some of the challenges of low-head pumped hydro storage including the need for larger flow rates and reservoirs as well as the requirement of machinery with high efficiencies across a wide operating range to accommodate larger changes in gross head during storage cycles. It includes several units of contra-rotating reversible pump-turbines connected to axial-flux motor generators within a ring dike, as well as dedicated machine- and grid-side control. The technology allows for independent control of each runner, making it possible to adapt to the specific operating conditions of low-head systems. In this work, a numerical approach is used to simulate the system's performance and dynamic behaviour under various operational conditions, including energy generation, storage, and grid support of a 1 GW system with 4 GWh of storage capacity. The potential system performance for energy balancing cycles is evaluated, and a sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the influence of scaling the motor-generators on performance and footprint of the plant. Additionally, the capability and limitations of the system to respond to grid demand fluctuations and provide frequency regulation services are assessed. The results demonstrate that the low-head pumped hydro storage system is a viable large-scale energy storage solution, capable of round-trip efficiencies above 70% across a wide operating range. By increasing the maximum power of the electric machines, the maximum head range of the whole system is increased which correlates with a threefold increase in energy density per unit area. The dynamic simulations further show that the system can rapidly change its power output allowing it to provide frequency regulation services. Allocating 20% of its nominal power as a reserve, the new power setpoints can be reached within a maximum of 5 s independent of its initial state of charge.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"18 S1","pages":"4465-4479"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.13125","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248567","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}

This study presents a first-of-its-kind comprehensive analysis of 17 illustrative pathways varying the impact of e-fuel imports, grid interconnections and an accelerated energy transition towards the Caribbean's carbon neutrality by 2050. The research method is based on techno-economic principles for designing a cost-optimal energy system. An optimisation tool is used, the LUT Energy System Transition Model, to analyse the various pathways. The study finds that high uptake of renewables in Caribbean energy systems significantly lowers costs and enhances reliability, crucial for building competitive and resilient economies. Renewable energy dominated pathways show 7–24% lower cumulative costs compared to alternatives, with grid integration reducing costs by 1–10%. Accelerated transition pathways incur 3–12% higher costs than complete defossilisation by 2050. Solar photovoltaics, wind power, batteries, and electrolysers are pivotal for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Importing e-fuels reduces system costs by 7–16% and supports local resource use. Offshore renewable energy overcome land limitations, driving sustainable development and a vibrant blue economy. High electrification levels with renewable energy, sector coupling, and Power-to-X solutions enhance system efficiency and flexibility.

This trend results in the decline of system inertia and thus raises the frequency secure issue. Concurrently, electric vehicles (EVs) proliferate. Numerous EVs hold a huge potential of frequency regulation in case of contingency as EVs are able to achieve primary frequency responses (PFRs) via vehicle to grid chargers. However, the value of frequency responses from aggregated EVs has not fully exploited. This paper, proposes a chance constrained scheduling model incorporating the ability of PFRs from aggregated EVs. The proposed model characterizes uncertainties associated PFR capacities from aggregated EVs and wind power forecast errors by the Wasserstein-metric ambiguity sets, which do not rely on distributional assumption, and then formulates uncertainties-related constraints as distributionally robust (DR) chance constraints. These DR chance constraints are reformulated as tractable linear programs. Consequently, the proposed model leads to a mixed-integer linear program. Numerical results on a modified IEEE 39-bus system show that incorporating PFR from EVs can reduce total costs from $4,540,396 to $4,431,233, which is reduced by 2.4%.
