| Summary: | The problem of insufficient inertia and frequency security becomes a critical concern in generation maintenance scheduling due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs). To address the issue, this paper presents a stochastic generation maintenance scheduling with inertia-dependent primary frequency regulation constraints. First, inertia-dependent primary frequency regulation constraints consisting of the minimum inertia requirement, frequency nadir, and quasi-steady-state frequency deviation are formulated based on the dynamic frequency characteristic of power systems in response to large disturbances. Then, a two-stage stochastic optimization model for generation maintenance scheduling including frequency security constraints is proposed. Finally, a solution methodology based on Benders decomposition (BD) is used to promote the calculation speed of the proposed model. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed generation maintenance scheduling could address the potential frequency security issues and promote integration of RESs associated with calculation speed.
