A novel optimal generation dispatch algorithm to reduce the uncertainty impact of renewable energy

Climate change can easily affect renewable energy power output, and the uncertainty of renewable generation may cause serious influence on the power grid. This paper proposes a novel optimal generation dispatch algorithm to compensate for the fluctuations in power outputs of renewable energy resources. The proposed method helps reduce bus voltage variation and improves the ability of the power system to adapt to short term changes. The proposed optimal approach is tested on the Arizona transmission system. The proposed algorithm is relevant to transmission system operating and planning studies with a high penetration of renewable energy resources.
