  • Decision making for sustainable aggregation of clean energy in day-ahead market: uncertainty and risk
    Publication . Gomes, Isaías; Melicio, Rui; Mendes, Victor; Pousinho, H. M. I.
    This paper addresses a strategy for decision-making of sustainable aggregation for clean energy participating in a day-ahead electricity market. The clean energy consists of wind turbines, photovoltaic arrays and energy storage, contributing to a better resilience of the system. The power delivered by a wind turbine or by a photovoltaic array is most certainly in deviation from the value associated with the bid accepted at a closing of a day-ahead electricity market. The deviation is due to the unpredicted variable nature of the respective sources of energy, leading to uncertainty and may imply a risk of loss of profit. So, uncertainty must be considered, and the addressed strategy considers uncertainty by scenarios of historical data and risk by the conditional value at risk. The strategy is a unified approach based on a risk-constrained and a two-stage stochastic optimization problem rewritten as a mixed-integer linear programming problem. A case study is presented to illustrate the main result and drive conclusions.
  • Wind power with energy storage arbitrage in day-ahead market by a stochastic MILP approach
    Publication . Gomes, Isaías; Melício, R.; Mendes, Victor; Pousinho, H. M. I.
    This paper is about a support information management system for a wind power (WP) producer having an energy storage system (ESS) and participating in a day-ahead electricity market. Energy storage can play not only a leading role in mitigation of the effect of uncertainty faced by a WP producer, but also allow for conversion of wind energy into electric energy to be stored and then released at favourable hours. This storage provides capability for arbitrage, allowing an increase on profit of a WP producer, but must be supported by a convenient problem formulation. The formulation proposed for the support information management system is based on an approach of stochasticity written as a mixed integer linear programming problem. WP and market prices are considered as stochastic processes represented by a set of scenarios. The charging/discharging of the ESS are considered dependent on scenarios of market prices and on scenarios of WP. The effectiveness of the proposed formulation is tested by comparison of case studies using data from the Iberian Electricity Market. The comparison is in favour of the proposed consideration of stochasticity.
  • Aggregation platform for Wind-PV-Thermal technology in electricity market
    Publication . Gomes, Isaías; Laia, R.; Pousinho, H. M. I.; Melicio, Rui; Mendes, Victor
    This paper addresses a stochastic Wind-PV- Thermal commitment to improve the bidding process of an aggregator in an electricity day-ahead market. The data for the wind and solar powers and for the market prices are given by a set of scenarios. Thermal units modeling includes start-up costs, variables costs and bounds due to constraints of technical operation, such as: ramp up/down limits and minimum up/down time limits. The modeling is carried out in order to develop a management aggregation procedure based in a stochastic programming approach formulated as a mixed integer linear mathematical programming problem. A case study is addressed with market price from the Iberian Peninsula and comparison between disaggregated and aggregated bids is discussed to address the main conclusions.
