Optimal scheduling of flexible resources on the source and load sides considering comprehensive user satisfaction

Abstract

With the large-scale integration of wind power, photovoltaic power, and other new energy sources, their volatility and intermittency tend to cause the problem of flexibility imbalance in power systems. To make full use of the advantages of flexible resources on the new energy and load sides in power dispatching, an optimal scheduling method of flexible resources considering comprehensive user satisfaction is proposed in this paper. First, a demand response model considering comprehensive user satisfaction is constructed. Then, by taking into account the constraints of demand response and comprehensive user satisfaction, an optimal dispatching model of flexible resources on the source and load sides is established to achieve economic optimality. Finally, the case study based on the improved IEEE 30-bus system is carried out, and the simulation results under various scenarios verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
