Distributed Stochastic Market Clearing with High-Penetration Wind Power
Integrating renewable energy into the modern power grid requires
risk-cognizant dispatch of resources to account for the stochastic availability
of renewables. Toward this goal, day-ahead stochastic market clearing with
high-penetration wind energy is pursued in this paper based on the DC optimal
power flow (OPF). The objective is to minimize the social cost which consists
of conventional generation costs, end-user disutility, as well as a risk
measure of the system re-dispatching cost. Capitalizing on the conditional
value-at-risk (CVaR), the novel model is able to mitigate the potentially high
risk of the recourse actions to compensate wind forecast errors. The resulting
convex optimization task is tackled via a distribution-free sample average
based approximation to bypass the prohibitively complex high-dimensional
integration. Furthermore, to cope with possibly large-scale dispatchable loads,
a fast distributed solver is developed with guaranteed convergence using the
alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Numerical results tested on
a modified benchmark system are reported to corroborate the merits of the novel
framework and proposed approaches.Comment: To appear in IEEE Transactions on Power Systems; 12 pages and 9
