Abstract


When Unit Commitment (UC) is considered with the integration of renewable energy, it becomes a big issue to be emphasized because of its uncertain natural impacts. The awareness on the lack of sufficient and accurate data about uncertainty and approaching towards the realistic deployment of thermal power generators is a challenge for researchers and planners in optimization works. This work proposes a framework for UC scheduling of thermal power generators using renewable energy sources with a high degree of penetration that closely matches real-time operation despite the lack of accurate data. Applying the Information Gap Decision Theory (IGDT) to deal with uncertainty, power-based UC model in which generation trajectories act as piecewise linear models was extended to consider the ramping capability and energy output during starting up and shutting down of generating units. Simulations were performed on a standard IEEE 10 unit system. Comparing with the proposed framework, the conventional energy-based UC method cannot obtain wind uncertainty values (allowable horizon of WTG forecast error) in realistic operation as much as the expected results from its scheduling and, it can also approach more serious infeasibility conditions in the realistic operation than its expected results. The load shedding and energy curtailment amounts that occur with respective wind uncertainty values can exist as maximum or minimum levels when unit scheduling is conducted with these wind uncertainty values.
