Enhanced flexibility utilization and coordinated dispatch method of energy‐intensive enterprises in power systems under time of use prices

Abstract

AbstractPower system can utilize the flexibility provided by energy‐intensive enterprises (EIEs) for large‐scale renewable energy penetration. However, system operators cannot obtain the manufacture scheme of EIEs due to business privacy protection. Furthermore, highly regulated electricity prices further restrict the flexible utilization of EIEs. To overcome these issues, a coordinated dispatch framework between power system and EIEs under the intrinsic time of use (TOU) prices is designed in this paper, which requires only several boundary information for interaction. Firstly, the mathematical formulation of EIEs is given based on the inherent features analysis of typical production equipment and the optimal operation scheme of EIEs can be obtained. Then, considering uncertainties of both source and loads, the purchasing energy of EIEs from the network can be adjusted through the designed framework to track renewable energy dynamics and the clear equivalence class method is used to solve fuzzy chance constrained programming. Next, the improved Asymmetric Nash Bargaining (ANB) method is adopted to carry out the distribution of benefits. Finally, a modified IEEE‐30 test system is given to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, which can effectively improve the regional consumption level of renewable energy and ensure interests of all sides.
