Scenario-Set-Based Economic Dispatch of Power System With Wind Power and Energy Storage System

In view of uncertainties caused by large-scale wind power integration, energy storage system (ESS) is being considered to stabilize the fluctuation of wind power. In this paper, the influence of ESS on power system operation with wind power is analyzed in detail, and an economic dispatch (ED) model with wind power and ESS is proposed based on scenario set. First, the initial scenario set of wind power output is generated by the Monte Carlo sampling. To overcome the shortcoming of heavy dependence on the initial clustering centers, which usually leads to unstable clustering results, the k-means clustering is improved by combining self-organizing feature map neural network and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Then, the initial scenario set is reduced based on this improved k-means clustering method. Finally, an ED model solved by PSO is used to minimize the comprehensive power generation cost based on the reduced scenario set. Taking IEEE-39 bus system as an example, the scenario-set-based ED model is implemented in this paper. The simulation results show that, when solving the ED problem with wind power and ESS, the proposed method considering scenario reduction makes not only the clustering index better, but also the results of ED more reasonable.
