description | The integration of large-scale wind and solar power into the power grid brings new challenges to the security and stability of power systems because of the uncertainty and intermittence of wind and solar power. This sensitive expected output has real implications for short-term hydro scheduling (STHS), which provides reserve services to alleviate electrical perturbations from wind and solar power. This paper places an emphasis on the sensitive expected output characteristics of hydro plants and their effect on reserve services. The multi-step progressive optimality algorithm (MSPOA) is used for the STHS problem. An iterative approximation method is proposed to determine the forebay level and output under the condition of the sensitive expected output. Cascaded hydro plants in the Wujiang River are selected as an example. The results illustrate that the method can achieve good performance for peak shaving and reserve services. The proposed approach is both accurate and computationally acceptable so that the obtained hydropower schedules are in accordance with practical circumstances and the reserve can cope with renewable power fluctuations effectively. |
