Multi-Timescale Optimal Operation Strategy for Renewable Energy Power Systems Based on Inertia Evaluation

Abstract

To enhance the operational dependability of renewable energy power systems with high proportions, this study proposes a multi-timescale optimization strategy based on the inertia evaluation model. Firstly, the inertia evaluation model is established based on the factors influencing the inertia demand of the power system, and the concept of the inertia margin coefficient is introduced. Secondly, to address the uncertainties associated with sustainable energy output and the cost of carbon emissions, a multi-timescale optimization operation model is formulated for day-ahead, intraday, and real-time operations, aimed at economic optimization. The output status of each unit is obtained and adjusted in a timely manner in the next stage, while meeting the system’s inertia demand, to derive the final scheduling strategy. Lastly, a sensitivity analysis of the inertia margin coefficient is conducted through simulations to validate the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of the proposed scheduling strategy.
