Download or read book Online Optimization and Decision making Problems Under Uncertainty in the Power Systems written by Yutong Wu and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online optimization addresses problems whose input is incomplete. To solve online optimization problems, the decision maker needs to invent algorithms or mechanisms under uncertainty and achieve a performance comparable to when the information is completely given. The power system, non-surprisingly, is an area rich in online problems. In particular, the expanding use of renewable energy, including wind and solar, has imposed great uncertainty and new challenges on the power grid. Recent large-scale power blackouts also raise discussions about improving stability and fairness in the scheduling of electricity generation. To address these emerging issues, novel online optimization tools catered for the power grid must be considered. In this Ph.D. dissertation, we aim to use online optimization techniques to solve decision-making problems in power systems, when different kinds of uncertainty are present. We choose three emerging online problems in the power systems that can greatly benefit from the proposed optimization frameworks, either in promoting equity among electricity consumers or enhancing the resilience of the existing power infrastructure. Moreover, the invented online algorithms and mechanisms have utilities beyond the power systems and can be used for general online problems in other application areas. The first problem is related to the inequity in the net metering billing scheme that is currently adopted in the electricity market. The growing number of energy prosumers (e.g., solar panel owners), whose gross power consumption is hidden from the public, has been shifting the grid costs to traditional energy consumers, causing great unfairness. We study a penalty mechanism that incentivizes prosumers to report their true consumption, which results in a fairer pricing scheme than net metering. We model the problem as a repeated game with one or multiple players and provide the minimum penalty rates such that players voluntarily report their private value of electricity consumption. The second problem is to address the uncertainty in energy procurement where utility companies need to secure contracts with generators to fulfill the demand. The contracts arrive one by one during a time period and the utility company must decide irrevocably whether to accept the current contract or not. This is an application of the well-known prophet inequality problem. In the literature, the distribution of the value of the contract is known to the utility companies, which is hardly the case in practice. In this work, we consider the setting where the utility company can make a handful of queries to a distribution oracle and has to design algorithms to select the contract such that the value obtained is maximized. We give competitive ratios when two to five queries can be made. When only one query is allowed, we propose an alternative algorithm whose competitive ratio is strictly better than the one obtained from the single-threshold algorithm in the past literature. Finally, for the last problem, we study the classic unit commitment (UC) problem, the scheduling and dispatch of power generators subject to operating constraints so that the total cost is minimized. The UC problem is a special case of the more general location-allocation problems that have been widely adopted in application areas including disaster preparedness and supply chain management. We design a two-stage data-driven robust optimization framework to address general location-allocation problems with two types of uncertainties: the binary network uncertainty and the continuous unknown demand. Moreover, we add fairness constraints to the formulation such that the ratio of the allocated resources to demand is consistent across all regions. We provide tractable reformulations of the original problem and conduct numerical studies for an IEEE test system and the 2010 Yushu earthquake data set. Our simulation results show that the addition of network uncertainties and fairness constraints effectively improves equity and reduces costs

Download or read book Regulatory Framework for Long Term Demand Forecasting and Power Procurement Planning written by Anoop Singh and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity supply chain is a capital intense activity requiring a long gestation period for setting up generation, transmission and distribution assets. A robust and stable regulatory and policy framework provides adequate incentive for investment in such capacities. Further, availability of adequate generation and transmission capacities in future needs to be ensured for reliable operation of the power system. A reliable electricity demand projection can not only help the distribution utilities to plan power procurement in advance, but also assist in creation of transmission infrastructure to ensure reliable electricity supply to consumers. Cost of power procurement is the most important element of the Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) of distribution utilities and accounts for about three-fourth of the final consumer tariff. Power procurement plans and contracts typically have a long-term horizon and, therefore, need to be worked out well in advance, based on a reliable and dependable forecast. A national-level exercise for long-term electricity demand estimation is carried out by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), which projects state-wise long-term peak demand for electricity. The Electric Power Survey (EPS), published every five years by CEA, projects electricity demand using partial end use method, which is now supplemented with econometric estimates. Our analysis reveals that there is a deviation of up to 25 percent between the electricity demand projections in the EPS Reports and the actual demand of electricity. This mismatch can be attributed to quality of data as well as methodological shortcomings. Application of a standardised approach across states which vary in terms of economic development, consumption profile, agroclimatic conditions, etc. may also explain the range of deviations in demand projections across states.At the state level, the respective distribution (DISCOMs) and transmission licensees (TRANSCOs) also undertake such an exercise. The objectives, forecast horizon and methodology adopted for such forecasts vary widely. The objectives of some forecasts include transmission capacity planning, power procurement planning and/or regulatory compliance for tariff filings. While licensees in a few states revise their estimates annually, others undertake this activity every five years or more. CEA's projections are adopted for transmission as well as generation planning in some states. A holistic sectoral approach combining long-term electricity demand forecast with power procurement would not only help utilities economise their overall cost of power procurement but also alleviate supply risks, especially with the growing share of renewable energy sources. We analysed historical demand projections and relevant regulations of selected states - Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Delhi, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Whereas some of the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) have issued specific regulations for demand forecasting and power procurement planning, others have covered only short-term aspects through tariff regulations. The prevailing regulatory framework of the sector across many states does not address the matter of long-term demand forecasting and power procurement planning in an integrated manner. Based on our analysis of different states and some international practices, we identified key aspects that should be considered in formulation of regulations for long-term demand forecasting and power procurement planning. SERCs can consider these key aspects, with appropriate modifications if necessary, while framing model regulations for long-term demand forecasting and power procurement planning.
