Description
Summary:This paper presents coordinated energy management as a virtual power plant (VPP) framework with a wind farm, a storage system, and a demand response program in the transmission network according to the cooperation of VPPs in day-ahead energy and reserve markets. This strategy is based on a bilevel method, where it maximizes the expected VPP revenue in the proposed markets subject to constraints of renewable and flexible sources and the VPP reserve model in the upper-level problem. Also, a market-clearing model based on network-constrained unit commitment (NCUC) is explained in the lower-level problem so that it minimizes the expected operating cost of generation units constrained to a linearized AC-NCUC model. The scenario-based stochastic programming (SBSP) models the uncertainties of loads and WF power generation. Then, the master/slave decomposition method solves the bilevel problem to achieve an optimal solution at a low computational time. Also, since the lower-level problem is mixed-integer linear programming, the Benders decomposition algorithm is adopted to solve this problem. Finally, the suggested approach is implemented on IEEE test networks in GAMS software, and numerical results confirm the efficiency of the coordinated VPP management in DA energy and reserve markets and its capabilities in improving network operation.
