Download or read book Generation Expansion Planning with Renewable Energy written by Navdeep Dhaliwal and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Increasing penetration of renewable energy in the power grid is creating new challenges for generation planning. High levels of renewable energy - primarily wind and solar - results in high levels of uncertainty and variability at time scales as fast as seconds to minutes. As a result, conventional generation needs to have adequate flexibility to maintain the balance between supply and demand at fast time scales. Therefore, while planning the future conventional generation mix, a problem known as generation expansion planning (GEP), it is important for power system planners to incorporate flexibility. In particular, it is valuable to include high temporal resolution operational details into GEP in order to ensure that conventional generators will have sufficient flexibility to be able to counteract the intra-hour fluctuations in renewable generation. The main challenge for incorporating intra-hour operational details into GEP is that for existing formulations the problem size scales dramatically as the temporal resolution increases, leading to prohibitively high computational cost. To address this challenge, this dissertation proposes a novel, computationally efficient GEP formulation which ensures the selected generation mix has sufficient capacity and intra-hour flexibility to balance the variations in renewable generation. The method proceeds by using historical data to develop time-independent bounds on ramp (MW/5 min) as a function of load and renewable generation (MW). The solution quality of the proposed approach is validated using the IEEE RTS test case by comparison with two existing GEP techniques - unit clustering and representative weeks - and by assessing its sensitivity to generation parameters. The method yields generation mixes with costs as low or lower than the alternatives, but with much faster run times and including higher temporal resolution. The proposed approach is then extended to a novel problem: including investment in renewable generation as a decision variable, so that planners can make the optimal selection of both conventional and renewable generation. Results are shown for both wind and solar generation. A novel load shaping technique is developed to use demand response to contribute to countering the effect of renewable variability, and its impact on the displacement of conventional generation and on renewable energy integration is illustrated. Finally, the GEP with renewable investment is extended to a 25 year planning horizon which includes the retiring of existing units at the ends of their lifetimes and bringing new generation online in the years it is needed, while still ensuring sufficient intra-hour (5 minute) flexibility. Its performance is demonstrated on the IEEE RTS test case"--

Download or read book Incorporating Endogenous Demand Dynamics Into Long term Capacity Expansion Power System Models for Developing Countries written by Rhonda LeNai Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research develops a novel approach to long-term power system capacity expansion planning for developing countries by incorporating endogenous demand dynamics resulting from social processes of technology adoption. Conventional capacity expansion models assume exogenous demand growth; however, literature suggests that this assumption is not appropriate for developing countries. The planning approach presented in this research explicitly represents the links between the social and technical components of the power system. As potential customers without electricity select between various supply options to meet their power needs and as existing customers alter their consumption in reaction to the price of electricity and the perceived performance of the grid, the demand for grid power is directly impacted. This thesis demonstrates that neglecting these feedbacks and resorting to simplified assumptions can result in suboptimal investment strategies. By comparing the investment strategies identified using this novel approach to that of more conventional approaches, this research highlights cases in which the incorporation of endogenous demand impacts capacity expansion planning. More specifically, this work proves that incorporating endogenous electricity demand is important when there is a large fraction of the population without access to power or when the improvement in reliability afforded by capacity expansion is large. Employing traditional capacity expansion methods in such cases may lead to the selection of inferior expansion strategies. This research has both academic and applied contributions. Methodologically, this research extends state-of-the-art power system models by combining two generally separate modeling approaches, system dynamics and optimization. These methods are integrated to capture both the technical details of power grid operation and endogenous electricity demand dynamics in order to simulate the performance and evolution of the electric power grid. This research also demonstrates a holistic approach to centralized power planning that enables a more realistic representation of grid demand in developing countries and the identification of strategies that, in some cases, perform better than the strategies identified using traditional approaches. Finally, while this research was inspired by the case of Tanzania, the approach was developed with the flexibility to be applied to other countries with similar power system structure and contextual features.

Download or read book Generation Capacity Expansion Planning Using Screening Curves Method written by Tong Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generation capacity expansion planning has been evolving in rencent decades. First, the long-term planning procedure is taking more detailed considerations of short-term operation impacts. Second, as more renewable resources being integrated into the grid, a new strategy of dealing with the non-dispatchable renewable energy should be developed, with more ancillary services needing to be procured from thermal units. These trends are expected to continue. This thesis describes a methodology in generation capacity expansion planning. The screening curves method can be used to estimate optimal generation mix for a target year. This thesis first introduces three screening curves methods, which are classified based on their ability to deal with detailed shortterm operational issues. It then includes ancillary service and wind integration impacts. Finally, it presents a case study of a projected ERCOT 2030 system.

This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity, supplied reliably and affordably, is foundational to the U.S. economy and is utterly indispensable to modern society. However, emissions resulting from many forms of electricity generation create environmental risks that could have significant negative economic, security, and human health consequences. Large-scale installation of cleaner power generation has been generally hampered because greener technologies are more expensive than the technologies that currently produce most of our power. Rather than trade affordability and reliability for low emissions, is there a way to balance all three? The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies considers how to speed up innovations that would dramatically improve the performance and lower the cost of currently available technologies while also developing new advanced cleaner energy technologies. According to this report, there is an opportunity for the United States to continue to lead in the pursuit of increasingly clean, more efficient electricity through innovation in advanced technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies makes the case that America's advantagesâ€"world-class universities and national laboratories, a vibrant private sector, and innovative states, cities, and regions that are free to experiment with a variety of public policy approachesâ€"position the United States to create and lead a new clean energy revolution. This study focuses on five paths to accelerate the market adoption of increasing clean energy and efficiency technologies: (1) expanding the portfolio of cleaner energy technology options; (2) leveraging the advantages of energy efficiency; (3) facilitating the development of increasing clean technologies, including renewables, nuclear, and cleaner fossil; (4) improving the existing technologies, systems, and infrastructure; and (5) leveling the playing field for cleaner energy technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies is a call for leadership to transform the United States energy sector in order to both mitigate the risks of greenhouse gas and other pollutants and to spur future economic growth. This study's focus on science, technology, and economic policy makes it a valuable resource to guide support that produces innovation to meet energy challenges now and for the future.
Download or read book Short Term Load Forecasting 2019 written by Antonio Gabaldón and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short-term load forecasting (STLF) plays a key role in the formulation of economic, reliable, and secure operating strategies (planning, scheduling, maintenance, and control processes, among others) for a power system and will be significant in the future. However, there is still much to do in these research areas. The deployment of enabling technologies (e.g., smart meters) has made high-granularity data available for many customer segments and to approach many issues, for instance, to make forecasting tasks feasible at several demand aggregation levels. The first challenge is the improvement of STLF models and their performance at new aggregation levels. Moreover, the mix of renewables in the power system, and the necessity to include more flexibility through demand response initiatives have introduced greater uncertainties, which means new challenges for STLF in a more dynamic power system in the 2030–50 horizon. Many techniques have been proposed and applied for STLF, including traditional statistical models and AI techniques. Besides, distribution planning needs, as well as grid modernization, have initiated the development of hierarchical load forecasting. Analogously, the need to face new sources of uncertainty in the power system is giving more importance to probabilistic load forecasting. This Special Issue deals with both fundamental research and practical application research on STLF methodologies to face the challenges of a more distributed and customer-centered power system.
