Reserve Demand Determination Method Considering the Different Time Periods Uncertainty of Wind and Solar

Abstract

With the gradual realization of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, the proportion of installed renewable energy capacity in all regions has increased significantly. The access of a high proportion of renewable energy has brought serious challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power system. The uncertainty of wind power and photovoltaic output makes it difficult for the traditional reserve demand determination method to economically and effectively calculate the reserve capacity required by the system, so it is urgent to propose a reasonable reserve capacity demand determination method. On the one hand, it ensures that the deserve capacity needed by the system is sufficient to cope with real-time active fluctuations, and on the other hand, it improves the economy of the reserve capacity. The reserve demand determination method considering the different time periods uncertainty of wind and solar in this paper is able to meet the reserve demand of new power system. At last, the article proves the benefits of Reserve Demand Determination Method through a numerical example.
