Day-ahead coordinated scheduling of hydro and wind power generation system considering uncertainties

Abstract

This paper presents a day-ahead coordinated scheduling method of hydro and wind power generation systems (HWPGSs) with consideration of uncertainties. In this method, we first formulate the coordinated scheduling model with two-part price and power flow constraints, which manifests the fixed and variable economic benefits as well as the secure operation of HWPGS, respectively. Then, the interval analysis is used to study the effect of uncertain wind power, water inflow, and electricity load on the coordinated scheduling model. Finally, we use a real test system in a western area of China to conduct simulation studies, which verify the effectiveness of the interval analysis and the effect of price mechanism on the day-ahead coordinated scheduling of HWPGS.
