Robust energy storage allocation for transmission grid integrated by multiple wind farms
Abstract
Since optimal planning for energy storage sizing and locating is critical to meet the requirement of total wind power absorption, a robust optimization theory based energy storage allocation model for transmission grid with multiple wind farms integrated is proposed in this paper. The model fully considers the transmission capacity limitation, and uses linear decision rule to optimize the allocation of the reserve capacity of the adjustable units and energy storage devices to cope with the fluctuation of wind power, which makes full use of the regulation capacity in the system. Some statistical information of wind power, such as expectation and interval, is used to describe the uncertainty of wind power. The uncertainty model is transformed into a deterministic model by using the duality optimization theory, which provides convenience for engineering application. The Garver’s 6-bus transmission system model is used for example analysis, which shows that the proposed method can effectively solve the energy storage planning problem for uncertain wind power integrated power systems.
