Integrated Dispatching Model for Power System Incorporating Multiple Modules

The widespread integration of renewable energy presents significant challenges for power system scheduling. Traditional power system scheduling is mainly based on the concept of “coordinating on a multi-time-level and gradually refining at each level,” using a sequential scheduling framework. However, with the growing integration of renewable energy, the uncertainty in power systems has significantly increased, leading to severe issues such as conflicts in the coordination between different modules. This paper first introduces the scheduling framework of the traditional sequential scheduling model. Then, addressing the problems of module coordination and insufficient flexibility, an integrated multi-time-scale scheduling model is proposed. This model combines day-ahead and intraday scheduling models, optimizing decision variables including unit start/shut states, operation points, and reserves simultaneously to maximize the collaborative potential between different scheduling modules. After linearization, the proposed model is converted into a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model, which can be solved directly using commercial optimization solvers. Finally, case analyses demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed integrated model compared to the traditional sequential scheduling model.
